On the southern Gold Coast, just minutes from the sand, local cafes and that Palm Beach village feel, our clinic is busy, well-regarded, and known for consistently high clinical standards. We have a stable team of vets and nurses who care deeply about doing things properly, and we’re ready for a Veterinary Director who can set the clinical tone, coach with clarity, and keep the day running with calm purpose.

Take a quick walk through Palm Beach clinic and meet the space you’ll be leading.

We are looking for a Veterinary Director who wants to lead with clarity, coach with purpose and help shape a clinic culture that feels steady, capable and rewarding to be part of every day.

What makes Palm Beach different

This is a clinic where high standards are part of the everyday. We care deeply about doing things well, supporting one another and creating an environment where good medicine can thrive.

What sets us apart is the combination of a busy, varied caseload and a settled, collaborative team who enjoy working together. We value evidence-based medicine, strong communication and leadership that is present on the floor, not removed from it.

Our purpose-built clinic is thoughtfully designed and equipped to support excellent care across consults, diagnostics and surgery, including:

• Ultrasound and digital X-ray
• IM3 dental unit and dental X-ray
• In-house laboratory
• Sterile theatre

The opportunity

As Veterinary Director, your impact will be felt in both the clinical standards we uphold and the way our team connects, communicates and grows together.

This is a leadership role with real influence. You will help shape the tone of the clinic, strengthen capability across the team and create the kind of day-to-day environment where people feel supported to do their best work.

In this role, you will:

• champion evidence-based care and keep clinical standards high
• mentor vets and nurses through feedback, case discussions and development planning
• bring clarity to workflow, communication and expectations
• help shape a diary that supports both quality medicine and a sustainable pace
• build strong client relationships within the Palm Beach community
• guide a culture of accountability, kindness and continuous improvement

Who will thrive here

You will likely feel at home with us if you are someone who brings calm, structure and follow-through to leadership.

You enjoy mentoring others and lifting confidence across a team. You are thoughtful in a busy environment, clear in your communication and proud of both your medicine and your ability to help others grow. You value high standards, kind accountability and being part of a team that wants to keep getting better together.

The one reality

Palm Beach is a busy clinic with a strong pace. This role will suit someone who can stay organised, present and consistent through the natural flow of cases, decisions and team dynamics across the day.
