Vetwest Carine – Veterinarian (6-Month Fixed Term Contract)

Our newly renovated, well-established small animal clinic in Duncraig is looking for a veterinarian to join us on a 6-month fixed-term contract, covering a period of long leave.

Positioned in a leafy, park-side location directly opposite Carine Open Space, the clinic is surrounded by walking trails, green space and great local lunch spots—making it easy to step out and properly recharge during your day. Located in a community-focused, family-driven neighbourhood, we’re proud of our long-standing client base who are loyal, engaged and genuinely invested in their pets’ care. All of this, just 20 minutes from Perth CBD, gives you the perfect balance of lifestyle and accessibility.
