Feedback From a Locum Veterinarian
"Working with the team at the RSPCA Broken Hill was an absolute pleasure I worked here as a locum vet and was instantly made to feel like a part of the team. The vets, nurses, and support staff are a compassionate bunch of people who take a great deal of care with their patients. Being so remote, you see some really interesting cases, and the clientele is generally extremely grateful for having such a high standard of care available to them. I would highly recommend this clinic to any vets keen for an outback adventure."
