Greencross is excited to have launched our new state-of-the-art Greencross Veterinary Hospital in Werribee!

Opening our doors on the 16th of January 2023, this multidisciplinary veterinary hospital offers western Melbourne pet owners and their pets access to GP, Emergency and Specialist services.

We are recruiting for a Senior ECC Veterinarian looking to take the next step in their career!

The role is diverse, and we will assist you in growing your knowledge and skills. With the support of ECC Specialist Dr Liam Donaldson (DACVECC), and registrars and specialists in the fields of Surgery, Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, Dentistry and Anaesthesia, you will gain exposure to complex cases requiring critical care and multidisciplinary management.

Such cases may include;

• patients requiring mechanical ventilation secondary to elapid snake envenomation,
• septic cases requiring extensive monitoring and instrumentation (central venous catheters, arterial catheters, invasive arterial blood pressures etc) and,
• post-operative multi-disciplinary cases requiring ICU referral (post-op balloon valvuloplasty patients, post-op thoracotomy patients, polytrauma cases etc).
