Veterinary Surgeon. Where Coastal Living Meets Clinical Excellence. From $95k DOE, plus super and bonuses.

Imagine finishing your day in a clinic with a productive, supportive team where everyone has your back, a job well done, patients looked after, and your customers appreciative of what you do. Well, that's life in this practice in Boyne Tannum set in the beautiful Gladstone region of Central Queensland.

This busy practice serves a close-knit, supportive community. The town has the perfect balance, a strong industrial economy built around the port, alongside an outdoor lifestyle packed with fishing, camping, snorkelling, diving, and 4WD adventures.

Gladstone is just down the road, giving you easy access to all the amenities of a major regional centre, while still enjoying the pace and charm of a beachside town.
