About QVS

Our vision is a world where all pets, and those who care for them, receive the support they need to enjoy a fulfilling life.

Queensland Veterinary Specialists (QVS) is Australia’s first privately established veterinary specialist hospital, founded in Brisbane in 1982. Today we provide specialist-led care 24/7 across South East Queensland, with hospitals at Stafford, North Lakes and the Sunshine Coast.

We are a values-led group committed to compassionate, progressive and evidence-based care that supports the animal–human bond. Our specialists, emergency veterinarians, nurses, technicians and support professionals work side by side, and that collaboration is at the heart of how we practise.

Our multidisciplinary team spans internal medicine, surgery, emergency and critical care, diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia, dermatology, ophthalmology, dentistry and theriogenology, with continued investment in new services, clinical capability and training pathways.

About Brisbane and South East Queensland

Brisbane offers specialists genuine career opportunity without compromising quality of life. Queensland’s capital combines a warm, relaxed climate with short commutes, excellent schools, and vibrant dining and cultural precincts.

With the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, hinterland, beaches and rainforests all within easy reach, South East Queensland offers a rare balance of professional growth, family-friendly living and an outdoor lifestyle.

The Opportunity

QVS has an exciting opportunity for a board-qualified Specialist or board-eligible Registrar in Small Animal Medical Oncology to join our growing specialist hospital group.

You will step into an established oncology service with an existing caseload, a dedicated oncology suite and a strong multidisciplinary referral base. With experienced colleagues across medicine, surgery, emergency and critical care, diagnostic imaging and anaesthesia, patient care here is genuinely collaborative.

As the service continues to grow, the role offers far more than clinical delivery. You will help shape service workflows, clinical standards, the client and referring vet experience, and future intern and residency training pathways.

We are looking for someone excited to help lead the next stage of oncology at QVS, in a specialist-led environment that values clinical excellence, compassion and shared expertise.

•         Up to 8 weeks’ paid leave for those preparing to sit board examinations
•         Generous continuing education allowance to invest in your professional development
•         Relocation assistance for interstate and overseas candidates
•         Visa sponsorship for suitably qualified overseas applicants, with a pathway to permanent residency
•         Paid parental leave, employee discounts and a calendar of social events

About You

To be considered, you will be either:

•         A board-qualified Specialist in Small Animal Medical Oncology; or
•         A Registrar planning to sit board examinations, with eligibility for specialist registration or pathway recognition
