About Us
Brighton Veterinary Hospital, an accredited veterinary hospital, is committed to providing comprehensive small-animal veterinary services to the local community. As a 100% veterinarian-owned and operated hospital, led by Dr. Brian Golden, our cohesive team of 25 individuals (6 veterinarians) is united by a shared commitment to improving the lives of all our patients.
Emphasizing continuous improvement, we prioritize professional development, a positive team culture and ongoing investments in equipment.
We are excited to invite expressions of interest to join our growing team in 2025. This is a pivotal year for Brighton Veterinary Hospital, South Australia, as we prepare to move into a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility.
The veterinarian team each has unique sub-specialised interests enhancing patient outcomes but also providing invaluable support and advice to the entire team. Our nursing team plays an indispensable role in patient care delivery, with a focus on pivotal contributions to hospital case management and regular nurse consults.
The highly experienced surgical nursing team, longstanding members of the BVH family, contributes significantly to our success. Guiding the nursing team is our Head Nurse, who works closely with the clinic’s Training and Development Coordinator, ensuring ongoing training initiatives and professional development.
