Emergency Vets 24/7

🤩 Thank you to everyone who applied for our Saturday Receptionist position! 🤩

We'll be contacting everyone who is moving on to interviews over the next week 😃 so we can meet our new front of house legend!

When you work with animals, you need to be adaptable.

And if your patient wants to sleep next to the nurses on the bedding shelf instead of on the bed you got ready... well, we can be flexible 😘

🙏Thank you to everyone who applied to join our canine blood donor registry 🙏

If we haven't contacted you yet, we might call on you soon! We've now received enough donations to top up the blood bank and treat the critically ill patients in hospital over the busy period.

But the hard work isn't over.

We maintain a registry so we have lots of people to call when stocks are low or when we've had to use a lot of blood for an emergency. Donors travel, their owners have work commitments, and we don't expect our donors to be available like we are, 24/7. We should also share that our own pets donate, too!

With whole blood donations, fresh is best. Having a list of donors means we can offer life saving treatments when they're needed, and top up the blood bank at a time that's convenient to you and your pet.

THANK YOU from all of us. We appreciate your generosity 🤗

📢 Calling all reception and front of house legends: what do you think about joining us, one day a week? 📢

As our Saturday Receptionist, you'll be responsible for greeting pets and people, even when they're not at their very best.

Can you show your compassion to people who are stressed? We're looking for a proud multitasker who cares about pets and people, and who will be the link between our clinical staff and the clients we serve. You'll help keep our busy veterinary hospital running at peak efficiency.

Veterinary reception or animal related experience is not essential, but would be advantage.

Is this something you could do?

Please email us at [email protected] with your CV and a brief summary of how you'd like to see yourself in this role.

😃 We are open, unbiased employers with a wonderful diverse team from late teens to 70's, and we're looking to welcome one more person in June 😃

❗Applications close at 11pm on May 21st ❗

Look what we did! 😃

We are delighted to announce the winners of the Veterinary Green Awards 2026! 🌟🏆

The Green Awards 2026 celebrate people and practices who are passionately leading the way in reducing environmental impacts across the veterinary professions.

This year, the Winners had mastered a lot of the steps you would expect from a best practice veterinary clinic or hospital, then done something exceptional on top.

From an Emergency Vets Hospital who’ve not only installed a solar array, they’ve got a microgrid with battery storage to keep costs and carbon low whilst also getting involved in ground-breaking research to restore coral reefs; to a Wildlife conservation personality who’s continuously influenced his local community and the nation to act on biodiversity, animal welfare and environmental issues as well as led the reintroduction of beavers into urban wild spaces; to a small but mighty practice who’s pioneering best practise in greener health plans as well as taking every opportunity to positively influence clients, peers and the sector to protect wildlife and biodiversity, every small action and larger-scale innovation counts and deserves recognition.

Let’s honour those who are shaping a brighter future for veterinary care through sustainability.

Here are our worthy winners for 2026:

Green Veterinary Practice of the Year (Under 20 Employees)
💚WINNER: Small World Vet Centre

Green Veterinary Practice of the Year (Over 20 Employees)
💚WINNER: Cairns Emergency Vets

Green Individual Vet Personality of the Year
💚WINNER: Dr. Sean McCormack

Simon Doherty International Green Award
💚WINNER: Margo Mosher, Mars Veterinary Health

Highly commended runner up (Large Practice) Sanderson Vets

A huge thank you to our expert Green Award Judges: Justine Shotton, Director at Vet Sustain + Head of Wildlife & Exotics at the RSPCA, Antony Gough, National Lead at Investors in the Environment + Sustainability Director at PECT, and Vanessa Nicola, Director of the Wylie Veterinary Centre and + Large Practice Green Award Winner for 2025.

Each Winner receives either a free Webinar Vet Unlimited Membership for a year or a free ticket to the Veterinary Green Discussion Forum, which this year focuses on One Health and how the veterinary and animal health sectors can accelerate the ecosystems for Regenerative Agriculture, Biodiversity & Rewilding and Antibiotic Stewardship.

Thank you to our event partners for making that happen: Mars Veterinary Health, Royal Canin, Hill’s Pet Nutrition, Carus Animal Health and MSD Animal Health.

📣Callout to owners of large dogs in Cairns: can you help us save lives?🐾

🩸Our blood bank is running low this week after some critically ill dogs needed blood transfusions. We need to top up our lifesaving stores of whole blood.

We are seeking healthy, relaxed, large breed dogs weighing 23kg or more, and aged between 1 year and 9 years old to join our small group of volunteer donors 🏥

If your dog is up to date with C5 and leptospirosis vaccinations, as well as flea, tick and worm prevention, we'd love to talk to you.

Every blood donor receives a free full physical examination with a veterinarian plus blood screening including haematology, biochemistry and heartworm testing.

Full details are available on our website, under the Blood Donors tab. You’ll see information about availability and you can read about some of our previous blood donors and our Wall of Heroes.

Huge thanks to all our past, current and future donors: you save lives!

As Emergency Vets 24/7 is a proud partner with Vets for Climate Action (VfCA), we would like to share just one of the extra initiatives we took during ZerOctober.

In addition to a whole program full of environmentally sustainable initiatives that we follow (more on this later), our Director, Dr Richard Page, vowed to cycle to work for each of his shifts in October. What a commitment! And he doesn’t just live around the corner: it’s a 25km one-way commute, to be precise. Riding to work, catching a bus or car pooling helps lower damaging CO2 emissions generated by the amount of vehicles on the road every single day. By limiting the amount of vehicles on the road, we help reduce the negative impact on the environment.

Good work, Richard! We are proud of you and your commitment to our wonderful environment. We wonder what’s next...? 💚
