Why Warilla-Shell Cove?

Our clinic is known for its warmth, humour, and genuine support. We’re a team that looks out for each other. When someone’s having a tough week, everyone steps in to help. That family-like culture is what makes us special.

You’ll join six vets and eleven nurses who love what they do and love working together. With three vets and five to six nurses rostered daily, you’ll always have help at hand. We thrive on nurse-led initiatives and team-based consulting, so collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.

Our clinic has a unique story - it used to be a Pizza Hut (true!) but has been fully renovated into a modern, purpose-built space featuring:

• Four consult rooms (including a dedicated cat consult room)
• Separate dog and cat waiting areas and wards
• Surgery and x-ray rooms
• Isolation ward

We’re equipped with radiographs, ultrasound, dental x-ray, Tonovet, and access to a CT scanner at our sister clinic in Fairy Meadow. All Greencross practices are fitted with state-of-the-art equipment to deliver best-practice care, and we use Heidi Health AI-powered clinical note-taking to keep your day running smoothly and on time.

We’re family-friendly and flexible - your ideal roster matters to us.
