Designed from the ground up, the hospital combines advanced diagnostic capabilities, state-of-the-art facilities and a genuinely collaborative multidisciplinary team working together under one roof.

We are a progressive, vet-led hospital, which means clinical excellence is not just a value we talk about; it's embedded in every decision we make.

The Opportunity

Due to the continued growth of our hospital, we are seeking experienced and motivated Criticalist(s) to lead the establishment of Critical Care as a new service at MediPaws, on a permanent basis, either full-time or part-time.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a service from the ground up. We intend to grow this into a full-service department with multiple criticalists, and you'll have genuine input into building and growing that team as we go.

Our hospital and ICU include some of the best equipment to support you in your work, including:

• • 1.5T MRI
  • Nuclear medicine service supported by one of the only veterinary-commissioned SPECT/CT’s in Australia

  • Intensovet critical care oxygen cages
  • Two ventilators with high flow capabilities
