Veterinarian - Large Animal Jobs in Sydney - October 2026 (0)

Working as a veterinary professional in Sydney

Sydney has one of the largest veterinary job markets in Australia, spanning small-animal hospitals in the inner west and eastern suburbs, corporate groups across the greater metropolitan area, and specialist referral centres. With one of the highest pet ownership rates of any Australian capital city, demand for veterinarians and veterinary nurses is consistently strong — particularly for experienced nurses and vets with emergency or surgical interests.

Most Sydney roles are small-animal general practice, but you'll also find emergency and critical care rotations, specialist hospitals, and exotic pet clinics. Public transport and shift-friendly rosters vary by clinic, so check each listing's hours and location details carefully.

Large animal veterinarian roles

Large animal vets work with cattle, sheep, pigs and other production animals, typically in regional and rural Australia. Demand consistently outstrips supply, so these roles frequently come with above-market salaries, vehicle allowances and housing. Many positions also include some small-animal work — check each listing's caseload split.
