We’re looking for a Veterinary Director to lead the clinic’s clinical direction and support its people and ongoing success. We’re open to experienced Veterinary Directors, as well as experienced vets who are ready to take the next step into a leadership role. You’ll be supported by our Regional Clinical Director and experienced Veterinary Directors across the Gold Coast.
This is a clinic where high clinical standards are part of everyday practice. The team takes pride in doing things well, supporting one another and creating an environment where good medicine can thrive. You’ll be joining a settled and capable team that genuinely enjoys working together and values evidence-based medicine, thoughtful communication and practical support on busy days.
Our purpose-built clinic is equipped to support a varied caseload across consultations, diagnostics, dentistry and surgery, including:
- Ultrasound and digital X-ray
- In-house laboratory
- Dedicated sterile theatre
As Veterinary Director, you’ll provide clinical leadership for the clinic, support the development of the team and help shape the way the clinic operates. You’ll remain hands-on with consulting and surgery while working closely with regional leaders to support the clinic’s people, standards and performance.
Your role could include:
- Delivering high-quality, evidence-based veterinary care
- Managing a varied medical and surgical caseload
- Providing clinical leadership and supporting collaborative case discussions
- Mentoring and developing vets and nurses
- Building a positive, supportive team culture
- Contributing to clinical workflows and the client experience
- Building trusted relationships with clients in the Palm Beach community

- A commitment to thoughtful, high-quality medicine
- Clear communication and a collaborative approach
- The ability to stay calm and organised in a busy clinical environment
- An interest in supporting and developing colleagues
- The confidence or potential to lead a clinic and contribute to its future
Palm Beach is a busy clinic with a strong pace, so this opportunity will suit someone who enjoys variety, teamwork and being part of an engaged clinical environment.
We want your next move to feel supported, rewarding and sustainable. Our benefits include:
- A competitive salary package aligned with your experience and responsibilities
- 12% superannuation in addition to your base salary
- A performance-based incentive program
- Four weeks of annual leave, with the option to convert continuing education leave into additional annual leave

- Access to the Lincoln Institute’s Leading Edge for Veterinarians, a fully funded 12-month leadership program valued at $9,000, if leadership is part of your career goals
- Ongoing support from our Regional Clinical Director and experienced Veterinary Directors across the region
- A dedicated “Welcome to Australia” module for international veterinarians transitioning into Australian practice
- Discounts across Greencross Vets, the Animal Referral and Emergency Network and Petbarn
Eligibility for full veterinary registration in Queensland and approximately five or more years of clinical experience are required. Strong clinical, communication and teamwork skills are essential. Previous leadership experience is welcome but not essential. We are equally interested in experienced veterinarians who are beginning to consider leadership and would like support to explore that next step.
