Veterinary jobs in regional & rural NSW

Regional and rural NSW consistently has more veterinary vacancies than veterinarians to fill them. Roles range from mixed practice in the Riverina and New England to small-animal clinics in larger regional centres like Dubbo, Wagga Wagga and Coffs Harbour. Rural roles frequently offer higher salaries, housing support and sponsorship for overseas-trained vets.
