Have you ever imagined practising exceptional veterinary medicine by day and exploring rugged coastlines, mountain trails or award-winning restaurants by night? If so, Tasmania may be calling.
At Tasmanian Veterinary Hospitals (TVH), this is more than a job advertisement — it's an invitation to join a thriving, forward-thinking team that genuinely enjoys working together. Privately owned, with four established locations and a dedicated administration team, TVH is built on clinical excellence, strong relationships and sustainable work–life balance.
We're proud to be the only practice in Tasmania offering laparoscopic surgery, with direct access to the only CT scanning facility for animals in southern Tasmania. That means you can practise at a high clinical standard, with the tools and support to do your best work — and still have time to enjoy your life outside it.
Based in Hobart, you'll experience a safe, relaxed lifestyle with wilderness at your doorstep, pristine waterways, cycling and hiking trails, and a vibrant food, wine and arts scene. It's the kind of place where your commute might include a waterfront sunrise — and your weekends feel like a mini holiday.
