Animal Welfare League Queensland would LOVE you to join our dedicated team of veterinarians on the beautiful Gold Coast!

Why work at AWLQ Community Vet Clinics? 

The charter of AWLQ’s Community Vet Clinics is that no sick or suffering animal is ever turned away, irrespective of an owner’s capacity to pay for treatment.

This unique service makes essential vet care accessible to all pet owners including those previously unable to afford treatment for their pets. Our commitment to keeping pets and people together saves countless animals’ lives and avoids many animals having to enter the shelter. 

Any profits made through our Community Vet Clinics at Brisbane, Gold Coast and Ipswich provide further funding for the rehoming of shelter animals as well as education and foster care for animals in need.

What’s in it for you?

Our flexible Work-Life-Balance options ensure you work only one weekend a month, with no on-call.
