  • “Roma Round Up” veterinary conference
  • Pilates, yoga, footy, netball, tennis. you name the sport and it’s likely here
  • Roma SHOW!!!

Other pro’s to this awesome little town are:

  • Carnarvon Gorge is only a 2.5 hour drive away making for a perfect weekend away or day trip.
  • Arts shows, historical exhibits, Roma’s tree top walk, Big Rig Museum, Mucka pub and other attractions
  • Daily flights to Brisbane (50mins) for city weekend getaways and easy conference access with local rates
  • We also host the largest cattle selling complex in the Southern Hemisphere = ROMA SALEYARDS- we do a reasonable amount of work there too

You’ll never suffer from “same stuff, different day” scenario! Check out the caseload.

  • 65 % is made up of small animal, pocket pets, wildlife, goats, sheep and anything else that walks through our door.
  • 25% beef cattle – Bull testing, preg testing, prolapses, calvings and more. The employer is ACV Preg check accredited examiner so can facilitate you getting your tail tags (if not already acquired) and is able and willing to teach bull testing to ACV Bull Check standards.
  • 10% equine – geldings, dentals work, mare breeding, stitch ups and more

As for all the gadgets - there are too many to list but in short, we believe in high quality equipment so we can do high quality work.

Your chance at being the successful applicant will be improved if you:

  • Are a self-starter who loves to improve themselves. We are big on that.
  • Are reliable. That’s non-negotiable.
  • Are happy to work reasonably independently but with support on the “tough ones”.

We are New Grad Friendly as long as you are prepared to “have a red hot go”. Of course you will have mentoring when you start here to ensure you become a confident vet as soon as possible (Mixed practice is the best way to rapidly develop your skills). We will NOT send you for cattle caesareans on your own until you're confident. The employer is an experienced teacher for anyone who wants to learn.
