Why North Lakes?

Just 26km north of Brisbane, North Lakes is a modern, family‑friendly suburb with plenty to love:

• A vibrant, welcoming community
• Gorgeous walking and bike paths around Lake Eden
• Local cafés for your pre‑shift coffee fix 
• Westfield North Lakes for a little retail therapy, plus an IKEA nearby for those “just popping in” trips

Work somewhere that lets you enjoy life outside the clinic, too.

About the Clinic

We’re a 100% small animal clinic, caring mainly for dogs and cats (with the occasional pocket pet to keep things interesting). We have a loyal, lovely client base and strong community connections.

North Lakes is a busy, well‑equipped practice, so no two days are the same. Our team is friendly, supportive, and genuinely enjoys working together, we believe great teamwork (and a good sense of humour) makes all the difference.

If you love cuddles, can handle the wrigglers, the scaredy‑cats, and the occasional naughty Nellies, you’ll fit right in here.
