Job description

Veterinary Director - Greencross Riverway

• Full-time

Build the clinic you have always wanted to be part of

There are leadership roles where you inherit an established clinic, culture and way of doing things.

Riverway offers something different.

We are preparing to reopen our purpose-built clinic on the banks of the Ross River, and we are looking for an experienced veterinarian who wants to shape its next chapter.

You may already be a Veterinary Director looking for a fresh opportunity, or a senior veterinarian ready to take your first step into leadership with the right support around you.

Either way, this is your opportunity to establish the clinical direction, help create the team culture and build a clinic that reflects the way you believe veterinary medicine should be delivered.

The foundations are already here

The clinic, facilities and equipment are ready. What we are building now is the team.

Riverway includes dedicated consulting and treatment spaces, along with specialised facilities for radioactive iodine treatment. You will also have the backing of our wider Townsville network, an experienced Area Manager and a Regional Clinical Director who will support you clinically and as a leader.

During the lead-up to Riverway’s reopening, you will work across our Townsville clinics, build relationships within the local network and play an active part in shaping the clinic’s team, culture and direction.

Who would you build it with?

The people around you can make all the difference to how a clinic feels.

If there is a veterinary nurse, Practice Manager or fellow veterinarian you have worked brilliantly with before, this could be an opportunity to explore the next chapter together.

You are equally welcome to express interest individually. We will work with you to build a capable, supportive team around the clinic’s shared vision.

What you will have the opportunity to shape

As Riverway’s clinical leader, you will be able to:

• Establish the clinic’s clinical standards and direction
• Help recruit and develop a collaborative veterinary and nursing team
• Create a calm, supportive environment where people can do their best work
• Mentor veterinarians and nurses as the clinic grows
• Develop areas of clinical interest, including radioactive iodine treatment
• Build strong relationships with clients and the wider Townsville community
• Collaborate with Veterinary Directors and clinical leaders across our local network

Who will thrive here

This opportunity could suit you if you:

• Are an experienced veterinarian eligible for unrestricted registration in Queensland
• Have leadership experience or are ready to step into leadership
• Enjoy mentoring, developing people and bringing a team together
• Take pride in thoughtful clinical decision-making and high standards of care
• Want to build something meaningful rather than simply maintain what already exists
• Value the backing of an established network while having genuine influence locally

What we will back you with

• Support from an experienced Regional Clinical Director and Area Manager
• A collaborative network of Greencross clinics across Townsville
• Flexible working options
• 12% superannuation in addition to your base salary
• Four weeks of annual leave, with the option to convert continuing education leave into additional annual leave
• Six weeks of paid parental leave at full pay, or 12 weeks at half pay
• The fully funded Lincoln Institute Leading Edge for Veterinarians program, valued at $9,000
• An industry-leading internal continuing education program
• All-inclusive attendance at Australia’s largest annual veterinary clinical conference
• Scholarship opportunities for Membership examinations
• Paid AVA membership or annual veterinary registration
• Discounts across Greencross Vets, the Animal Referral and Emergency Network and Petbarn
• Visa sponsorship and relocation assistance for eligible international veterinarians
• Future equity partnership pathways if ownership forms part of your longer-term vision

Life in Townsville

Located close to the Ross River, Riverway is surrounded by parklands, walking paths, lagoons and community spaces.

Beyond work, Townsville offers easy access to Magnetic Island, the Great Barrier Reef and North Queensland’s beaches and national parks, all alongside a relaxed tropical lifestyle and welcoming local community.
