Company Profile
Advanced Vetcare
Company Overview
Advanced Vetcare is a 24hr Emergency and Specialist Animal Hospital situated in central Melbourne. Our centre is a well-equipped modern hospital with over 30 veterinarians and Specialist Surgical, Medical and Oncological services. Our hospitals are located in three diverse areas around Melbourne. Geelong is a beautiful coastal city on the doorstep of the world-famous Bells Beach and Great Ocean Road. Kew is within the leafy, established inner eastern suburbs with excellent local schools and easy access to the city and surrounding lifestyle suburbs. Kensington is centrally located in the inner west, with easy access to excellent public transport and the vibrancy of being located so close to the centre of Melbourne.
Our centres are well-equipped modern hospitals with a 64-slice CT (3 machines) and digital radiography in each location, excellent ultrasound machines (Siemens x700, x300, Juniper x 2 and Mindray M8) with echocardiography and flat panel fluoroscopy allowing excellent diagnostic capability. We perform interventional procedures and we are introducing intra-arterial chemotherapy and chemoembolization for our oncology patients. We have in-house clinical pathology and a close relationship with our external pathologists!
Our oncology team is led by specialist veterinary oncologist, Dr Laura Brockley, with an oncology resident, Dr Jessica Morey, an oncology intern and excellent nursing support completing the department. The oncology team works closely with specialist medical and surgical colleagues in the practice and is supported by 24-hour emergency and critical care at our Kensington site. We enjoy having a multi-discipline approach to our cancer patients, placing an emphasis on compassionate care and quality of life.
We are a growing, independently-owned referral centre. We strive to provide outstanding collaborative veterinary care in a practical and empathetic manner, whilst maintaining excellent communication with the owner and our referring vets and a healthy work-life balance. We also offer access to an Employee Assistance Program to support mental health and well-being.
