For employers in Australia
Recruit veterinary surgeons for your practice in Australia.
Keep clinical capacity and rotas sustainable. Reach veterinary professionals whose experience and relocation plans fit the role your practice needs to fill.
Make the clinical role and location work together
When a veterinary surgeon role stays open, consults, procedures and out-of-hours duties can fall onto a smaller team. Explain whether your practice needs small-animal, mixed, farm or equine experience and how much sole-charge work the appointment involves.
Australian city, regional and rural opportunities offer different working days. Describe actual travel between sites, emergency cover, support from other clinicians and the local community. Set out salary, hours and any confirmed relocation support clearly so an overseas candidate can assess the move.
Reach internationally mobile veterinary professionals
Medica’s candidate-led approach starts with the clinician: species experience, clinical interests, preferred setting and willingness to relocate. We discuss your practice when those preferences fit, and seek permission before sharing a candidate’s details. This can reach professionals who are considering a move but have not applied to your vacancy.
Separate recruitment from licensing and immigration
Veterinarians apply to the veterinary board in the Australian state or territory where they intend to work. Recognition of qualifications and any additional assessment or examination requirements must be confirmed for the individual. Recruitment, professional registration and immigration are separate processes; Medica does not grant registration or provide immigration advice.
Frequently asked questions
Can we consider veterinary surgeons from the UK or Ireland?
Yes. We can explore candidate interest, but eligibility depends on the qualification, destination regulator and work rights. UK or Irish registration does not guarantee local registration.
What should a recruitment brief include?
Share the practice location, species focus, clinical responsibilities, sole-charge and emergency duties, remuneration, support and target start date. Identify any flexibility in the role or timing.
