Veterinarians- Sanctuary Cove Vet

Gold Coast QLD | Opening 9 November 2026

Some clinics open their doors and hope to build a reputation over time.

Sanctuary Cove Vet is being created with that reputation in mind from day one.

Opening on 9 November 2026, Sanctuary Cove Vet will bring a new standard of companion animal care to one of Australia’s most prestigious waterfront communities. Construction is now underway, our support teams are coming together, and we are building the founding veterinary team that will help shape the clinic’s future.

This is more than joining a new clinic.

It’s an opportunity to be part of creating a practice recognised for exceptional medicine, outstanding client service and a workplace culture that attracts great veterinary professionals.

A Boutique Clinic Designed Around Excellence

Sanctuary Cove Vet is being purpose built from the ground up, combining contemporary design, advanced equipment and carefully considered workflows to create an environment where high quality veterinary care can flourish.

Unlike many larger hospitals, Sanctuary Cove Vet has been intentionally designed as a boutique clinic where strong client relationships, continuity of care and thoughtful medicine are at the heart of everything we do.

We will open with a close-knit team of veterinarians, nurses and client care professionals who genuinely enjoy working together and who are committed to building something special for the local community.

Every aspect of the clinic is being built with intention, from the facilities and equipment through to the culture we are creating.

The Best of Both Worlds

While Sanctuary Cove Vet will operate as a high-quality standalone clinic, it will be complemented by its sister clinic, Hope Island Central Vet, opening shortly afterwards.

Together, these clinics will create exciting opportunities for collaboration, mentorship and professional development. Hope Island Central Vet will also feature advanced imaging capabilities, including CT, providing additional diagnostic support and referral opportunities close to home.

This allows Sanctuary Cove veterinarians to enjoy the feel of a boutique clinic while still benefiting from access to advanced diagnostic services and a broader veterinary network.

Life at Sanctuary Cove

Few veterinary roles offer the combination of professional opportunity and lifestyle that Sanctuary Cove provides.

Known for its marina village, waterfront residences, championship golf courses, cafés and restaurants, Sanctuary Cove is one of Australia’s most desirable coastal destinations. The area offers a relaxed sophistication, attracting a community that values quality, connection and exceptional service.

With easy access to both Brisbane and the Gold Coast, you’ll enjoy an enviable lifestyle while building your career in a location many people choose as a holiday destination.
