Small Animal Medicine Specialist or Registrar
Animalius, Veterinary Hospital | Perth, Western Australia
If your ideal medicine role is more than just a consult list and discharge notes, Animalius might be your place.
We’re looking for a Small Animal Medicine Specialist or Registrar to join our growing internal medicine team—someone who loves deep case work, real-time collaboration, and being part of a hospital where ideas are shared and patients truly benefit from a multidisciplinary approach.
This is medicine that’s thoughtful, hands-on and fully supported.
The work week you’ve been looking for
Arrive at a beautiful, light-filled hospital filled with art, plants and calm, purposeful spaces. Your opinion will be actively sought and genuinely valued in a team where there are no silos—just shared decision-making in the best interests of patients and clients.
You’ll be part of a highly interactive medicine service that believes we are smarter together. Learning, discussion and curiosity are built into how we work, not added on as an afterthought.
You’ll:
- Work closely with surgeons, radiologists, dentists, anaesthetists and hospital vets to create practical, patient-centred diagnostic and treatment plans
- Manage a varied and interesting internal medicine caseload with strong imaging, anaesthesia and surgical support
- Participate in twice-weekly Smarter Together rounds, daily multidisciplinary rounds and weekly journal club
- Join One Health rounds alongside human medical specialists, broadening perspectives and challenging thinking
- Perform and interpret endoscopy procedures using our full suite of high-definition flexible and rigid endoscopes, with support from an experienced nursing team
- Utilise advanced tools including a diode laser and comprehensive in-house diagnostics
- Collaborate closely with our on-site diagnostic imaging department and soft tissue surgical teams, which are integral to how we practise medicine
- Teach and mentor interns, residents and colleagues, contributing to a strong culture of learning
Be supported by dedicated, highly skilled nurses who are deeply involved in patient care and procedures
This is a role where medicine specialists are embedded in the clinical heartbeat of the hospital—not working on the sidelines.

You’ll be joining a collaborative and supportive department that currently includes:
- Two Small Animal Medicine Specialists

Across the hospital, our clinicians are supported by outstanding imaging, anaesthesia, surgery, dentistry, and nursing teams. We hire for values and invest heavily in team alignment, professional growth and development.
