Locum Vet Surgeon.
NSW. Buronga. Australia.

$120 p/h. Plus a car and a houseboat as your home.
Ready for a locum role that feels more like a life chapter than a job?
From 1st May to 31st July 2026 (and likely the same each year), join a long-standing small animal clinic on two riverfront acres in Buronga NSW. Where your commute is a stroll along the Murray River, and your bed rocks gently on a houseboat in the marina.
You’ll earn $120 per hour and enjoy shorter days than most clinics: Tuesdays 8:30–4:30, Wednesdays 8:30–6:00, Thursdays 8:30–4:30, and Saturdays 8:30–12:30.
After-hours is light, usually nothing between 7pm and 7am, with the odd emergency or quick phone call for a trusted client. It’s sole charge, but never lonely: their Practice Manager (Cert IV, 25 years in the clinic) anchors the team alongside a nurse-receptionist, a groomer, and kennel staff.

The work is the kind that keeps skills sharp and days satisfying. Dogs and cats are their mainstay, with the occasional horse or unexpected visitor from the surrounding countryside. All patients are seen onsite, no home visits, in a clinic built to do things well.

You’ll handle routine desexing, dentistry, lump removals, wound management and, for rescue patients, the occasional femoral head removal or amputation. We keep patient numbers to about 30 a day, so care is never rushed.

Alongside conventional care, they offer veterinary chiropractic, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, behaviour programs, treadmill rehab, and a heated hydrotherapy pool. If you’ve got interest or skills in these areas, you’ll feel right at home.

The setting is a pleasure to work in: paddocks and an undercover dressage arena, shaded yards for up to 30 dogs, and an air-conditioned equine barn that doubles as an all-weather workspace.

So, what’s next?
Please send your CV to [email protected]. It doesn’t matter if it’s not up to date, we will come back to you.
