On Parental Leave
For as long as I remember I have wanted to work with animals and I am so proud that since 2011 I have been able to call AdelaideVet my home. I really enjoy the challenges, the team members, and of course, meeting all the clients with their wonderful pets.
I live with my husband and son in the beautiful Adelaide Hills and we have one elderly Siberian Husky named Kaley who is definitley the boss of the house and has us all pandering to her needs. In my spare time I love to travel and see new places and make it a priority wherever I go to visit the local animal sanctuaries and rescue missions to see how we can assist in their wonderful work.
I look forward every day to all the little surprises and challenges that my role brings and always look forward to meeting all of our clients.
My role with AdelaideVet started in Client Relations and I thoroughly enjoyed greeting our clients with their furry and feathered family members. I have learnt so much from my amazing and knowledgeable work colleagues over the years and I feel extremely lucky to be working with such a passionate team of animal lovers! I have since become part of the wonderful administrative team and provide support across the entire AdelaideVet group.
I could not imagine working in a better environment and a more knowedgable team than AdelaideVet and I enjoy every day working in this amazing industry
I have been a team member at AdelaideVet since January 2006 when I was employed as Animal Caretaker. I worked through my Veterinary Nursing Certificates over the years and became a qualified veterinary nurse and now manage the Prospect clinic.
I still love my nursing and have a special interest in veterinary nurse consulting as I feel I can build a relationship with our clients and most importantly their beloved fur babies.
Working at AdelaideVet has fulfilled my expectations of animal care as the team and clinic have such high standards of care and will go above and beyond to care for every animal that comes through our door. Over the years I have seen so many interesting and amazing cases which makes AdelaideVet a great place work and learn.
At home I have an Alexandrine parrot called Maurice who is a little crazy but very loving, I also have a bull mastiff cross that I adopted from the RSCPA called Gary. Gary is one giant teddy bear with lots of love and slobbery kisses to give to everyone.
I have been a part of the Adelaide Animal Hospital team since 2008. I am a qualified veterinary nurse and have recently completed a course in Emergency medicine. I have always had a passion of nursing and since I began my course, I knew I wanted to work in an emergency clinic just like Adelaide Animal Hospitals. I have a passion for animals and thrive on the challenges they bring everyday.
I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own - German Shepherd cross named Charlie, a Maltese cross Shi Tzu named Callie and a cheeky female domestic long haired cat named Billie who came to the clinic as an adult stray.
Veterinary nursing is a challenging but rewarding career and working at Adelaide Animal Hospitals gives me the chance to learn and work in different situations allowing me to improve my nursing skills everyday. I love being a part of the Adelaide Animal Hospitals team. It is a fantastic place to learn and the standards of care are second to none.

I am excited to be back at Adelaide Animal Hospitals and am looking forward to a new chapter in my nursing career.
I started my nursing career back in 2000 after completing a Certificate IV in Hospitality and then deciding that Veterinary Nursing was where my heart really was (and always had been). I joined the AdelaideVet family back in 2014 after spending almost 15 years working in various clinics around Adelaide.
I enjoy all aspects of nursing, everything from emergency medicine right through to nutrition, but I have a passion for dog training and training puppies. Running Puppy Preschool classes for over 20 years has been a wonderful part of my job (can you even call playing with puppies a job?!) and the bond that I share with my puppies is priceless.
My role these days as the Practice Manager leaves little time to train puppies and monitor our critical hospital patients, but I still find opportunities to come out to the hospital and help out from time to time. Having the opportunity to still be ‘on the floor’ on a regular basis is a great reminder that I still genuinely love what I do and I am tremendously passionate about animal healthcare and pet owner education.
I share my home with Jovie the Australian Kelpie, Dudley the Mutt and Elsie & Timmie our cats (they both think that they own the house and we just rent couch and bed space).
In my spare time you’ll find me running my online health, beauty and well-being business and spending time with my family, either at home or at our shack on the banks of the gorgeous Murray River.
I joined Adelaide Animal Hospital in February 2008 as an animal caretaker and became a qualified veterinary nurse in 2010. My special interests are in emergency and critical care nursing, and I look forward to furthering my knowledge in this area.

Away from work I love nothing more than to have a snuggle with my two gorgeous boxers named Storm and Lexi. They are also both regulars at the hospital.
I have been working at Adelaide Animal Hospital team since 1999. I am a qualified nurse and my nursing career spans over ten years. I am involved in Pet Pep - an education program for primary school children to teach them about the responsibility of owning pets.

I have been a member of the Adelaide Animal Hospital team since 1999 as a senior qualified veterinary nurse. In 2002 I travelled overseas to London to expand my veterinary nursing skills for a period of six months. I worked in a quiet small and large animal practice in the country town of Wendover and also at an emergency and referral centre in Wimbledon.
In 2005 I completed a Bachelor of Applied Science in Animal Studies, majoring in Wildlife Biology with the University of Queensland. Last year I was also fortunate enough to broaden my knowledge and skills whilst nursing for a few months at the Adelaide Zoo.
My interest here include emergency and critical care, wildlife nursing and I am also the coordinator of the Cat Adoption program.

We also have a turtle and a bearded dragon called Spikey.

I have 2 gorgeous kids who are lots of fun and a rescue dog called Charlie.
My veterinary nursing career started back in 2001 while I concurrently studied a degree in Biological and Biomedical Sciences. I then went on to also study a degree in Registered Nursing and have worked as a nurse for both humans and animals since 2008 (and so far I have never gotten the two confused!). I have worked in a range of veterinary clinics, both small and large.
I am very passionate about good quality veterinary nursing education and continuing education, so I additionally combine my clinical work with part time work as a Veterinary Nurse Educator for the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing.
Originally from Perth, I now live in the Adelaide Hills on a small property with my husband Nick (a Veterinarian), our three daughters, and a menagerie of animals ranging from dogs and cats to horses, turkeys, goats (including a celebrity goat named Dibble Dabble) and plenty in between!

I am looking forward to working with the caring and knowledgeable team at Adelaide Animal Hospital and completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2015.
When I am not working or studying I spend a lot of my time with my pets Dexter, a 5 year old male Siberian husky, Tiddles, a 10 month old female tabby and Raphael, a 5 month old grey domestic short hair. I just couldn’t imagine my life without animals.
I have been a veterinary nurse since 2003 and have worked in mixed animal practice as well as small animal, and more recently in specialist and emergency/critical care. I enjoy continuing to learn about all aspects of veterinary nursing and have become both a Registered Veterinary Nurse and an Accredited Veterinary Nurse.
I enjoy volunteering with animals and have worked overseas in Tonga with South Pacific Animal Welfare, Vanuatu with Vets Beyond Borders, and am a member with the South Australian Veterinary Emergency Management, and a member of the Vet Nursing Council Australia.

My Veterinary Nursing career began in 1998 where I worked as part of a small team at Stirling Veterinary Clinic (now AdelaideVet, Stirling). I was working part time initially whilst I furthered my studies, but I soon realised my passion was for helping our clients and their pets which I continue to do today.
I live in the Adelaide Hills with my husband and two daughters. We share our lives with our beloved Jack Russell, Tayla and our Cavalier King Charles, Lani.

I began my Veterinary Nursing career back in 2007 at a small animal practice in Adelaide where I worked for over 10 years, learning many valuable skills and being fortunate enough to complete my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing traineeship during this time.
After taking a small break from Vet Nursing, it was not too soon till I was back in the industry I love where I took up a Veterinary Nurse position with the wonderful team at AdelaideVet in 2018.
I have a menagerie of very spoiled animals at home including a Black Labrador named Buffy, Two Tabby cats Calvin and George and a loveable Mini lop named Chai
Always having a love for all animals I started my nursing career in 2011 in a small animal practise.
I started working at AdelaideVet in 2018 where I have developed special interests in emergency surgery, critical care nursing and radiography. I love seeing those patients that come in unwell go home to their families back to their healthy self. Whilst this isn’t the case for all, just being there to care and support them is fulfilling.
Having recently said goodbye to my beloved 16yr old Amstaff. We are waiting patiently for the perfect puppy, adult or senior to add to the family.
Always having an interest in animals, I was incredibly fortunate to work out a way to work that into my career. Starting out by completing my Animal studies Certificate II in 2018 and then completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2019, I gained employment at AdelaideVet as an Animal Caretaker through my work placement and once I completed my studies I was employed as a veterinary nurse. I've really enjoyed furthering my skills to provide the best care possible to all the animals I can.
I have a full house at home with my dog Jagger (a Border Collie X), two birds - Merci (A rainbow lorikeet) & Arturo (a Princess of Wales parrot) and two cats Missy and Esme. I've also fostered over 150 kittens, which keeps me very busy and is what originally got me interested in the animal industry.
I can't wait to get to know you all, whether that be through looking after your cats in our boarding facilities or providing the best nursing care possible in our hospital.
Since graduating my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2016 I have been working full time as a Veterinary Nurse in a small animal parctice in Stirling. As of August 2020 I have been given a great opportunity to join the team at AdelaideVet!
I am excited to work in such a progressive and fast paced environment and looking forward to furthering my knowledge in non-routine surgical cases and emergency nursing.
With my famiy originally based in NSW, I was born in the country town of Tamworth. Over the course of my life I have lived in four different states and have found myself happily settled in the Adelaide Hills. I have always been surrounded by an assortment of animals growing up, ranging from dogs, cats bunnies, guinea pigs, native birds, parrots and hand raised sheep. I have also thouroughly enjoyed volunteer work through the Hahndorf Animal Shelter and RSPCA whilst studying.
In my spare time I enjoy strong coffee, hiking through the Adelaide Hills, DJing professionally for events and clubs around Adelaide and spending my summers by the beach.
I am pleased to have become a team member of AdelaideVet in 2019. I began my Veterinary Nursing career in 2008 and shortly later earned my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and have been gaining experience evr since.
I have always been fascinated by animals and in high school, while learning about veterinary nursing developed a deep respect for the profession. I love being a veterinary nurse especially favouring puppy pre-school, bird care and expanding my knowledge of emergency and critical care.
In my leisure time I am either making memories with family and friends or I am doting on my whippet 'Willa' and my conure 'Ezra'.
I love the possibilities and experiences available to me as an AdelaideVet team member and working alongside such wonderful people.
I am born and bred in Adelaide and received my certificate IV qualification in 2015. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the pilot program of the Hills Nutritional Nurse Consultation course in 2016 and have a passion for nutrition. I also love to run Puppy Preschool classes!
I currently live in the Adelaide Hills with my partner Mark, my son Isaac and our beautiful Labradors Koda and Pippin.
When I am not nursing, I love to experiment in the kitchen, watch movies and spend time with my family.
I began veterinary nursing back in december 2017 when I was offered a traineeship in a small animal practice, allowing me to study at TAFE while learning on the job. Being passionate about animals since a very young age, I have always known that I I have wanted to work with and care for them. I have a special interest in developing my skills in emergency nursing and anaesthesia.
In my spare time I am often found hanging out with my best friend Bonnie (Moodle) or doing pole fitness, painting, surfing and spending time in the sun.
Since a young age I have always been a huge animal lover, which led me to pursue a career in the veterinary industry.
I began my studies in Veterinary Nursing at the beginning of 2020 while working as a dog groomer. Through out my studies I have found that I have a special interest in behaviour, emergency, and critical care nursing and I plan to do further studies in these subjects in the future. I am soon to be graduating and am excited to begin my career as a Veterinary Nurse with AdelaideVet!
I have a Shetland Sheepdog named Coco that gets all of my attention and cuddles when I am not giving them to all of the other animals at work.
Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember so a career in the animal industry made perfect sense to me. Over the years I had the blessing of living with pets from boisterous dogs with incredible individuality, rabbits, guinea pigs and even chickens. A life without animals is definitely not the life for me.
Adelaide Vet is not only a fantastic team of people who make work feel like home, but they encourage learning in all areas and fields. Thanks to them, I now have the opportunity to not only work every day in a field that I am passionate about, but I simultaneously get to increase my knowledge and practical experience.
My primary focus as a nurse is gold standard patient care. I have a passion and keen interest in behavioural and critical care/emergency medicine. I am Fear Free certified as well, which allows me to combine both of my passions together to make our patients as comfortable and calm as possible while they remain in our care. In the future I hope to complete further qualifications in these areas as I believe the industry is always evolving and our knowledge needs to reflect this.
I have been drawn to animal care since a very young age, I rescued my first stray animal when I was 8 years old and also nursed my first juvenile bird into adulthood at 11 years old. I have always been surrounded by small animals and couldn't imagine being without my furry friends both at work and at home. I completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing through TafeSA in 2017 and began working at AdelaideVet in 2018. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science majoring in Animal behaviour, intending to someday be a Behaviour Technician while also utilising some of my time in conservation and research of native animal behaviour. I am also extremely passionate about Fear Free veterinary care and counter conditioning so that your dog can have a positive experience here with us.
My house is ruled by 7 adopted babies; our two dogs Lola and Freddie, and our 5 cats, Milhouse Van Meowten, Bob, Indi, Bainy and Randall.
I love working for Adelaide Vet and I love seeing your pets! If I haven't met you already, I can't wait to!

When we had our duaghter in 2019, we decided it was time to move back to Adelaide where my husband is from. I was lucky enough to secure the job of Behaviour Technician at AdelaideVet. I love working with the team and helping the dogs and cats who need behaviour support.
I am a Force Free Accredited Dog Trainer through the Pet Professional Guild Australia. I am committed to providing high quality positive reinforcement training, and always strive to increase my knowledge of Animal Behaviour.
I am a qualified Veterinary Nurse based at our AdelaideVet Prospect Clinic. I love meeting and assisting clients with their fur babies and I have ample opportunity to do this whilst on desk. It is lovely to hear their stories and see them at each return visit.
At home I have 3 dogs, a Border Collie and 2 small aging Poodles, along with 3 rescue turtles, a rescue cockatiel and 2 house cats.
I work with a great team of staff at Prospect and all members show dedication and professionalism to bring a united service to our valued clients.
I have been nursing at AdelaideVet Goodwood Road since 2007 and I am still excited about every aspect of Veterinary Nursing and find there are always new techniques and skills to be learned.
It’s a pleasure to be working with such a great team, who uphold such a high standard of care for both our patients and their parents.
After working in the dental industry for seven years, I took the opportunity to follow my dream of working with animals and started work at AdelaideVet Stirling at the beginning of 2014.
My experience with dogs goes back a long to my first Siberian Husky and my involvement with competitive dog sledding when I was a teenager.
Currently, my husband and I share our lives with our 2 Siberian Huskies, 2 Golden Retrievers and a French Bulldog.
We actively participate in dog sledding, obedience and conformation shows.
When faced with the daunting task of returning to work after full-time parenting, my previous career as a social worker simply wasn’t going to cut it. So after some soul searching I decided to follow a completely new path and join the Veterinary Industry. I’m so glad I did. It is such an honour to be involved in the care of people's cherished companions.
I especially love getting to know each cat that spends time in our boarding facility and think of myself as the concierge of a 5 star hotel. You might even get a postcard from your pet while they’re on holiday with us!
My family includes two animal-loving daughters, an elderly cat and a retired racing greyhound known for getting himself into all sorts of mischief.
I completed my certificate IV of veterinary nursing in 2016 after beginning my employment with AdelaideVet at the completion of nursing placement. I then decided mid year of 2018 to continue studying and began a bachelor of science degree at the University of Adelaide, double majoring in evolutionary biology and palaeontology.
I have always been passionate about animals and their welfare, so it was a dream come true when I began studying to become a Veterinarian after finishing school. I have been lucky enough to get a job at AdelaideVet while continuing my study, which has given me the opprotunity to work and learn alongside some wonderful people in the verterinary industry.
My family consists of two wonderful dogs, Derick the miniature poodle (the love of my life) and Ernie the spoodle, a sassy cat, two spoilt rabbits and a beautiful bird!
I am looking forward to meeting you all and your loving best friends and treating them like they're part of the family whle at the vet!
I joined the AdelaideVet team in August 2019 as an Animal Caretaker, I am very appreciative and grateful to workig amongst such a supportive team.
I grew up around animals (cats, dogs and racehorses) from a very yound age and in 2015 I started working in the animal industry in Perth.
My family includes one loving son, two off the track standardbreds (Shadow and Kenny), and a domestic short hair named Kitty.
I am looking forward to completing my certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing amongst such a helpful and knowledgable team and to also meet our lovely clients.
From a young age I have always been passionate about animals and always dreamed of working with them.
In 2017 I was lucky enough to make that dream come true by getting a job at the Lincoln Vet Centre through my work experience at high school. I was employed as a kennel hand and in 2019 was promoted to Boarding Manager. I also completed my Certificate II in Animal Studies.
In 2020 I made the decision to relocate from teh Eyre Peninsula to Adelaide. It was a hard decision to make as I was really close to the team I worked with and they taught me so much, but I am so glad I did! I unwittingly chose a difficult time to move as it was just when COVID-19 hit, but after getting my current job as Animal Caretaker at AdelaideVet I have loved every minute of it. Everyone is so lovely and I am looking forward to starting my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
In 2020 I started working at AdelaideVet as an Animal Caretaker after completing my Certificate III in Companion Animal Services. I am very fortunate to work with such a supportive and caring team.
I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Working in the animal industry, where I am expanding my knowledge about such a vast range of different animals, is a dream come true.
I am most grateful for the opportunity to look after the injured and sick Australian wildlife that come into the practice, it gives me a really valuable appreciation for our native animals.
I would like to further my education by studying my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services in the near future.
In my free time I spend time with my family and friends, or with my mischievous but beautiful Keeshond Luna, and my sister's extra cuddly RSPCA rescue, Staffy x Ridgeback, Kobi.
In 2021 I started my new journey as an Animal Caretaker with AdelaideVet, and decided to focus on my passion for animals. There is definitely a big jump from singing confidently on stage in front of an audience, to starting a new career path in the veterinary industry!
I am grateful to be part of an amazing and supportive team, who cherish and care for animals while working so well together every day.
In the near future, I look forward to taking the next step and studying for my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
I've always been the child of the family that has been nothing but obsessed with animals. I have grown up with multiple rabbits, birds, cats and dogs through out my years and they have been my whole whole world.
I am so grateful for this opportunity to work as an Animal Caretaker and be part of an amazing team like AdelaideVet.
At home I have two dogs name Ollie and Luna and two cats named Cosmo and Consuelo, who make my everyday life that little bit more interesting!
I joined the team at AdelaideVet in 2021 as an Animal Caretaker, I am so grateful and excited to begin my career in the veterinary industry as I am currently studying my Certificate III in Animal Studies (Veterinary Nursing) and plan to continue studying through to a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
I have a passion and interest in all animals and at home I have a dog, two cats, a bird, a rabbit and a snake!
Originally from the UK, I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I grew up with several family dogs, big and small.
For 8 years I travelled all over the world, performing on cruiseships and along the way I met my Australian husband. I have been in Adelaide now since 2014, but when I migrated I decided it was time to pursue a career in the animal industry.
I previously worked at Dogcity Daycare for three years, gaining hands on experience about the doggy daycare industry. I then went on to work at the Animal Welfare League, where I developed a higher proficiency dealing with high risk animals. Working at the AWL exposed me to the more complex areas of the animal industry, from helping abused, abandoned or sick animals, to implementing behavioural strategies in the aggressive dog pens, and through this I became very interested in dog behaviour. I worked closely with the AWL behaviour team and honed in on my skills working with dogs that exhibited aggression and behavioural issues.
After the AWL I worked at Beau's Pet Hotel as a Team Leader / Animal Attendant, where I gained leadership experience. I also completed a Guide Dogs leadership course through the Adelaide University.
I joined the AdelaideVet team in the very early stages of development of the daycare centre and have been so gratefu l to witness it's speedy eolution into a bustling hub for domestic dogs.
As the Doggy Daycare Coordinator I am responsible for showing my team how to navigate the dynamic context of canine social behaviour.
At home I have Ernie, who is a rescue Maltese, he is a regular at Doggy Daycare and you may have seen his face on our socials many times as he loves to pose!
After moving back home to Adelaide from life in the big Melbourne city, I am very happy to be a part of the AdelaideVet Doggy Daycare team.
After working in various clerical roles through out my 20's, I went back to college to complete an animal studies certificate and live out my dream to work with animals. I gained experience working with a variety of animals in both daycare and veterinary environments, as well as volunteering with animal welfare organisations.
I am the proud owner of a bengal cat who I adopted out of foster.
Working with animals has been the greatest achievement of my life and it's great to work with an extraordinary team at AdelaideVet.
I come from a background of dog training and running Puppy School classes. I have a Certificate II in Animal Studies and come to AdelaideVet with previous doggy daycare experience.
I have two golden retrievers of my own and am always finding new and exciting ways to enrich their lives both mentally and physically. They also attend daycare and you may see them around helping out with assessments and playing with your pups!
I grew up in the Adelaide Hills, on a property in Birdwood. My family has always had pets such as dogs, birds, ponies and sheep. I love all animals but from as early as I can remember dogs stole my heart overall.
I currently have two cats and am in the process of getting a Cocker Spaniel.
When Doggy Daycare opened at AdelaideVet Goodwood Road, I was lucky enough to be chosen as part of the new team. While I work here some days, I also work as a dog groomer at Fluff n Stuff Dog Styling. Prior to my current positions I have worked as a dog walker and an attendant at a dog boarding kennel and cattery.
Working with dogs is my passion and I feel extremely lucky not only to have found an industry I love, but to work alongside a great team.
I am currently undergoing studies in my Certificate III in Animal studies at the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing, set to finish at the end of 2021. With a great interest and passion for the behaviour and welfare of dogs, I look forward to continuing my studies in these fields.
In my spare time I like to go for walks, relax on the beach or with my cats, and camping.
I have been living in Australia since 2014, I first came here as a backpacker but quickly fell in love!
I have always loved animals and I've grown up with a vast variety of them around me. I spent some time working with horses, which I absolutely loved but after adopting my special needs dog, my love and interest in Canine Behaviour really began to develop.
I have completed a certificate II in Animal Studies and volunteered for the RSPCA, I also worked for a dog training business where I was able to grow my knowledge in canine behaviour.
I loveto learn and am always studying to further my knowledge.
I grew up in Bondi where I had several dogs and cats and birds as pets. My first “job” was working holidays on a 36,000 acre Sheep/Cattle property where I learnt to drove as well as doing animal husbandry/vaccination work. I have also worked full time for 9 years at the RSPCA Animal Shelter at Lonsdale SA caring for dogs in the Lost Dog, Dog Adoption and Dog Boarding areas.

Working with animals has brought much joy to my life and I hope I can continue to do so for a very long time.
I have volunteered for the RSPCA since 2018 and I have gained lots of valuable experience working with both their dog and veterinary teams. I enjoy helping and assisting with the more difficult dogs throughout the shelter, which has helped me gain amazing knowledge and understanding of canines.

I am so happy to be part of the team here at Adelaide Vet and to have the opportunity to work in a field I am so passionate about and absolutely love.
Zuri is a gorgeous grey and white domestic short-haired cat that came to AdelaideVet as a stray in 2010. It was soon discovered with her physical examination that Zuri was pregnant and had about a month before she was due.
The AdelaideVet team decided to keep Zuri as she had such a lovable nature, and all of her kittens were adopted to new homes through our Cat Adoption program.
Zuri is a funny girl who has taken it very seriously to find where all the sunny spots, comfy chairs and snuggly beds in the hospital are.
She has also figured out who provides her with food and will keep a close eye on them when it’s getting close to meal time!
Be sure to say hello to her when you next visit our Trinity Gardens Hospital!
