Why Vet HQ?
We’re not your typical veterinary practice. Since 2006, we’ve built something special: a family-run, independent practice where passionate professionals stay for decades, not years. Our team of 60 includes vets, nurses, and support staff who genuinely love coming to work.
Why? Because we’ve created a place where advanced medicine meets compassionate care, where you’ll have access to state-of-the-art equipment and the autonomy to treat every pet like your own. This is what happens when you combine professional excellence with heart.
What Makes Us Different
At Vet HQ, we’re proudly independent, locally owned, and committed to staying that way. Our veterinarians hold memberships and advanced certificates across surgery, medicine, feline care, and imaging. We bring specialists in-house so pets can receive advanced care in familiar surroundings with teams who know their complete history.
From our Gold Standard cat hospitals to our new rehabilitation centre, we’re constantly evolving. Here, you’ll do meaningful work with cutting-edge equipment, supported by colleagues who collaborate, care, and contribute to our culture.
Growing Together
We believe in investing in our people. Our senior nurses lead specialised programs in rehabilitation, geriatric care, and palliative care. Our vets perform advanced procedures, from keyhole surgery to cardiology, that other practices refer out. Professional development isn’t just encouraged, it’s woven into our culture of “learn, grow, evolve.”
Whether you’re early in your career or deeply experienced, you’ll find opportunities to expand your skills, pursue special interests, and shape the future of veterinary care across our Darlinghurst and Double Bay locations.
FAQ’s for our Vet HQ family
What's it really like working at Vet HQ?
Honestly, it’s special. We have people who’ve been here for 10+ years because they love it. You’ll work with state-of-the-art equipment, do interesting cases, and be part of a team that collaborates rather than competes. It’s professional but warm, challenging but supportive.
Do you only hire experienced vets and nurses in Sydney?
Not at all. We value passion and potential just as much as experience. Whether you’re early in your career or deeply experienced, we’re committed to helping you grow. Our senior team members actively mentor, and we invest in ongoing professional development across all roles.
What opportunities are there for professional development?
Heaps, actually. Our vets hold memberships and advanced certificates in surgery, medicine, feline care, and imaging. Our senior nurses lead specialised programs in rehab, geriatric care, and palliative care. We encourage you to pursue special interests, and we’ll back you with training and resources.
Is Vet HQ part of a corporate chain?
No, we’re proudly independent and family-run, and we’re staying that way. We’ve knocked back corporate buyout offers because we believe in maintaining our values, autonomy, and the culture we’ve built. You’ll have a real say in how things run here.
Can I work at both the Darlinghurst and Double Bay locations?
Yes, some of our team members work across both practices. That said, most vets and nurses are primarily based at one location to maintain continuity of care for our clients. Management and some support roles do work across both our Eastern Suburbs clinics.
What makes Vet HQ different from other veterinary practices in Sydney?
We provide specialist-level care in-house, so pets stay in familiar surroundings with teams who know their complete history. From our Gold Standard cat hospitals to our new rehab centre, we’re constantly evolving. You’ll treat every pet like family, not rush through appointments to hit quotas.
