Job description

AEC Mount Waverley is on the lookout for experienced ECC vets — or GP vets who feel that spark when an emergency case walks through the door. We’re Melbourne’s first‑ever emergency centre, purpose built from day one, and we’ll be celebrating 50 years next year. Our team is tight‑knit, stable and low‑turnover, and we’re only recruiting because one of our vets is heading overseas.

Emergency work is fast, varied and incredibly rewarding. One moment you’re stabilising a GDV, the next you’re guiding a family through a late‑night crisis. There’s no such thing as a predictable shift — and that’s exactly why we love it. Many of our vets hold memberships or additional qualifications, so there’s always someone around to learn from, laugh with, or bounce tricky cases off.

All new vets come through our structured induction program, with supervised shifts and steady support from senior clinicians. Whether you’re already in ECC or stepping across from GP, you’ll never be left on your own.

What we’re looking for

• A veterinary degree registrable in Victoria
• ECC experience, or at least two years of GP experience with the confidence and curiosity to move into emergency
• A calm head, kind heart and strong communication skills
• Willingness to work a mix of day, night and weekend shifts

What you can expect

• Permanent full‑time or part‑time roles
• A fun, supportive team with excellent nurse support
• Internal CE including membership training and regular membership study sessions for those keen to sit exams
• Mentoring and exposure to membership‑qualified vets
• Greencross benefits including staff discounts, relocation and sponsorship pathways
• Paid parental leave

Mount Waverley is a leafy, well‑connected pocket of Melbourne with great food, parks and easy access to the city — a lovely home base for work that’s anything but ordinary.
