If you love the pace of emergency work but prefer a roster that still leaves space for a life outside the clinic, this could be the sweet spot.
AEC Noosa is looking for a permanent Urgent Care Veterinarian to join our after hours service on the Sunshine Coast. You’ll see the cases that keep things interesting, build confidence quickly, and work alongside a team that values great medicine, calm communication, and genuine support.

Week 2: 3 x weekday shifts (5 pm–11 pm) + 2 x weekend shifts (10 hours)
(Or a similar pattern, designed to keep things fair and sustainable across the team.)
