GRADUATED and GRATEFUL

I’m so proud to share that I’ve graduated with a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing from

This journey for me has been filled with hard work, hands-on learning, and so many lessons and challenges from both people and animals. I not only have a certificate IV qualification, but have the confidence, compassion, and clinical skills to continue to truly make a difference in the lives of animals.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible educators and support staff at in particular Animal Studies staff (Jane, Nikki, Judy, Jess) — your guidance, encouragement, and expertise made this journey possible. From online theory classes to practical classes. I’m so grateful for the learning environment you all created and the belief you had in me. Your mentorship has left a lasting impact, and I feel truly proud to be part of the Melbourne Polytechnic community!

This path has been paved with dedication, heart, and the incredible guidance of those who believed in me — especially the amazing teams , Your mentorship during my placements shaped not just my skills, but the nurse I’ve become. Thank you for your wisdom, trust, and hands-on experience. 🐶 🐾 🐕👩‍🎓

🚨 Attention pet owners! 🚨 If your pet’s microchip is registered with HomeSafe ID, it’s time to act! With the registry shutting down, your pet’s chip will no longer be linked to your details. Meaning if they get lost, they may not find their way back to you.

Step 1: Check if your pet’s microchip is registered with HomeSafe ID. Visit www.petaddress.com.au (linked in the bio) and enter your pet’s microchip number.
Step 2: If your pet is registered with HomeSafe ID, transfer their details to another national microchip registry like Central Animal Records.
Step 3: Ensure your pet is always wearing a visible ID tag for extra safety.

This is especially important for pets adopted from the RSPCA 🐾💚

🥵 Hot days ahead for Victoria with 41 the forecast on Monday In this extreme heat please take care of your pets. All pets must be kept in cool, shady areas. It is ideal to bring pets indoors on hot days. If you're feeling warm, chances are they are too.
Short nosed or flat faced dogs breeds are also more susceptible to heat stroke e.g. Pugs, English bulldogs, French bulldogs.
Provide plenty of fresh, cool water in large water containers. Be sure to provide numerous sources of water in case one is spilt. Ensure the containers are in the shade and add some ice to the water to keep it cool.
Place a clam shell pool in the shade and fill it with water so your dog can wade in the water to keep cool.
You might want to reconsider your daily dog walk on really hot days. A ground that feels hot to touch can do serious damage to your pooch’s paws. Alternatively, you can walk them early morning or evening when the weather is cooler.
By doing this you’ll also avoid dehydration, sunburn and heat stress that
can occur.
