New Graduate Veterinarian New Grad Friendly

🐾 New Graduate Veterinarian — Supported Development Pathway (Port 
Augusta, SA)

We invite applications from new or recent veterinary graduates seeking 
a structured, supportive, and evidence-based start to their clinical 
career. Our clinic offers a comprehensive development environment 
designed to build confidence, competence, and long-term sustainability 
in practice.

🩺 Clinical Support & Mentorship

Our new-graduate program provides:
✓ Paired surgeries with an experienced veterinarian
✓ A nurse present in every consultation
✓ Daily clinical check-ins and guided case management
✓ A psychologically safe learning environment with no “sink or swim” 
expectations
✓ AI-assisted medical records to reduce administrative burden and 
support timely case documentation
✓ A mentor with post-graduate studies in veterinary workforce and 
attrition
✓ The clinic is 99.9% small animal but interest in other species is 
encouraged

🌿 Workplace Culture & Wellbeing

The clinic is led by a director with a PhD in veterinary attrition and 
wellbeing. Our systems, workflows, and leadership model are 
intentionally designed to prevent burnout and promote psychosocial 
safety. We operate through cohesive, collaborative leadership rather 
than traditional hierarchy; nurses and vets get to be clinical leads 
and all team members contribute to clinical standards and 
decision-making (within reason).

📋 Contract Structure

We offer a 12-month new-graduate contract, specifically designed to 
provide a strong, supported foundation for early-career veterinarians. 
This structure allows us to continue developing new graduates each year 
while ensuring each individual receives focused mentorship. For the 
right candidate, longer contracts and long-term progression 
opportunities — including a partnership pathway — are available.

🏞️ Location & Lifestyle

Port Augusta offers an affordable, spacious, and community-oriented 
lifestyle with exceptional access to the Flinders Ranges and regional 
South Australia. New graduates benefit from rapid clinical exposure, 
continuity of care, and a supportive client base.

✨ Ideal Candidate

We seek a kind, curious, collaborative new graduate who values 
patient-first care, teamwork, and sustainable practice. This role is 
suited to individuals seeking a safe, structured, and empowering start 
to their veterinary career.
