Job description

Veterinary Specialist | Perth. Registrars from $250k. Diplomates from $300k

World-class surgical facilities. Beautiful beaches, and a working week that leaves room for an actual life. Welcome to specialist veterinary practice, Western Australian style.

Imagine spending your working days tackling complex surgical cases in one of Perth’s most comprehensively equipped specialist surgery centre’s, then swapping the scrubs for sandy beaches, coastal walks or a sunset by the ocean. If that sounds like your kind of lifestyle, this could be the opportunity that changes everything.

Cedar Mountain is a specialist veterinary surgery and rehabilitation centre in Perth, combining advanced clinical facilities with a genuine commitment to work-life balance. With a coastal location, a supportive team and no routine out-of-hours work, it offers a refreshing alternative to the demands of a traditional specialist practice.

The role: exceptional cases, exceptional facilities.

We’re looking for a residency-trained veterinary surgery specialist, with opportunities for both registrars and qualified specialists. You’ll manage consultations, surgical procedures and revisits, working with a varied caseload comprising approximately 70% orthopaedics, 20% soft tissue and 10% spinal cases.

You’ll have the equipment, expertise and support to do your best work, including:

  • Two dedicated surgical theatres and a comprehensive range of orthopaedic instrumentation.
  • CBCT, ultrasound, radiography, in-theatre mini-fluoroscopy and arthroscopy.
  • A fully equipped rehabilitation facility featuring underwater treadmill, shockwave, Class 4 laser and advanced electrotherapy.
  • A fully equipped rehabilitation facility featuring underwater treadmill, shockwave, Class 4 laser and advanced electrotherapy.
  • An experienced team including a residency-trained anaesthetist, four patient-care vets, four nurses, and dedicated reception support.
  • We also have a certified canine rehabilitation therapist and practitioner (CCRT/CCRP) on site.
  • An anaesthesia intern and surgery intern may be available to support surgeons from January.

This is the first and only specialist surgery centre in Perth with a fully equipped rehabilitation facility, allowing you to combine advanced surgical care with comprehensive recovery support.

The rewards? More than just a salary.

Registrar salary: AU$250,000.

Specialist salary: AU$300,000+, depending on experience.

Flexible working arrangements from 19 to 38 hours per week.

Full-time hours over four days, with no weekends, on-call or routine after-hours duties.

Monday-to-Friday working, with public holidays off.

4 weeks annual leave, plus 1 week study leave.

Four weeks of accommodation provided on arrival, plus support finding longer-term housing and purchasing a car.

Start dates are negotiable from January 2027 onwards.

Then there’s Perth.

Based just 27km north of Perth’s CBD, you’re perfectly placed to embrace the ultimate Australian lifestyle. Think golden beaches just five minutes away, surfing before work, weekend snorkelling, coastal hikes, mountain biking adventures and lazy afternoons exploring beautiful wineries. With vibrant cafés, great food and a major shopping centre just around the corner, everything you need is right on your doorstep.

So, what’s next?

If you’re looking for a role where your voice matters, your growth is encouraged, and your life outside work is just as important as the care you provide inside the clinic, this could be your chance to build a career you’re proud of and a enjoy a lifestyle you’ll love.
