Oops, we’ve fallen behind on our staff profiles. Next up we have Reinder.

Reinder is a Frisian veterinarian with an impressive knack for both animals and adventurous hobbies. After graduating from the prestigious Utrecht University, his skills were further honed during an internship at the renowned Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital in Victoria. After some years working abroad and down south, Reinder migrated north and joined the Cooroora Vet team in 2023.

Not only does he handle horses like a pro, but he also handles the chaos of being a father to two energetic boys with grace (and perhaps a little bit of patience). When he’s not saving the day for four-legged friends, you can find Reinder kitesurfing—because nothing says “I’m a Dutchman” like mastering the art of navigating both the wind and water, travelling, or training for the Noosa tri. Reinder’s passion for both veterinary care and extreme sports keeps life interesting, one wave or horse at a time!

Next up we have Theresa.

Growing up in a farming family and being a vet’s daughter, Theresa developed a strong love for all animals from a very young age. In fact, she was put in the saddle and on the back of cows before she could walk.

Despite having a passion for all things great and small, Theresa decided to pursue a career in Business Management which she studied at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane. After working in Retail Management for 8 years, Theresa was given the opportunity to put her 2 passions; animals and management together and join the Cooroora Veterinary Clinic in 2019 as Practice Manager.

Outside of work you’ll find Theresa travelling the world, camping up the beach or in the outback, out in the backyard with the animals or foraging in the veggie patch, spending time with friends and family, or enjoying a good gin!

Next we have Sally.

Sally was born and raised here on the Sunny Coast, living in Nambour with her partner Jacob and her fur baby Kiba, a very lively and very hairy husky. Sally is definitely the nerd of the clinic, outside of work she enjoys videogames, VR, Anime and Web comics.

Sally started vet nursing in 2019 in Brisbane where she completed her Cert III. She then moved back to the coast and has been working here at Cooroora since 2022. Sally absolutely loves nursing and can’t see herself doing anything else. Just being around the other staff here inspires Sally as she learns so much from everyone here. Sally’s passion is mostly with the small animals and exotics but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy a bit of large animal work too.

Next we have Shane.

Shane graduated from the University of Queensland in 1994. He first worked in mixed practice in Allora on the Darling Downs for 2 1/2 years. Moving to the coast then allowed him to be closer to family and to receive the professional support of a larger practice.

Even though he continued to see all animal species it became clear that small animal surgery brought Shane the most enjoyment. A couple of years of further study and a set of examinations in 2003 allowed Shane to a become a member of the Australia New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists by examination in Small Animal Surgery. Regular visits to specialist centres helps Shane to bring new surgical techniques back to the practice.

Shane considers himself fortunate to have two wonderful children, a dog, a cat, five chickens and one fish. His hobbies include squash, touch footy, sailing and building / gardening projects around the yard.

Next up we have Kelly.

Kelly joined the Cooroora Vet team in November 2022. After working with race horses for many years, Kelly decided she wanted to pursue her passion - helping sick/injured horses, which she now has the privilege of doing out at our equine facility.

Kelly and her husband have a farm with a large fur family that is always expanding to animals in need of some extra love. When Kelly isn’t at work she’ll be outside catching up on farm jobs, riding her horses, brushing her pet cows, exploring trails with the dogs and having a go at some photography.

Hi everyone,

As we welcome a lot of new clients to the area and new team members, we thought it would be a good time to reintroduce ourselves.

We are a family owned & run mixed veterinary practice which has been operating in Cooroy for more than 65 years, the last 25+ being with the current owner. The practice has become the largest mixed practice on the Sunshine Coast, operating 6 days a week as well as offering an after hours service for horse and farm animals.

Our mission is to provide high quality affordable veterinary care with compassion, competence and collaboration. We pride ourselves on our team approach to problem solving and achieving results and we aim to develop strong relationships with our clients and patients.

We can be contacted on 07 5447 6733 during business hours, or on 0418 762 007 if it is after hours.

Over the coming weeks, we will be introducing a different team member, but to kick things off we have our newest team member, Sascha!
