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, oncology, 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 is seeking a board-qualified Specialist or board-eligible Registrar in Veterinary Neurology to lead the development of a dedicated neurology service across our hospital group.

Neurology patients rely on close teamwork, and that is where QVS excels. You will work alongside experienced colleagues in diagnostic imaging, surgery, internal medicine, anaesthesia and 24/7 emergency and critical care, giving your patients seamless support from initial work-up through to surgery, intensive care and rehabilitation.

This is a genuine opportunity to shape a service. You will have influence over team growth (including the neurology nursing team), case workflows and clinical standards, the referring vet experience, and the design of future intern and residency training pathways.

•         The chance to build and lead a neurology service with the backing of an established multidisciplinary hospital
•         Market-leading remuneration and benefits, including a pathway to equity

•         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 Veterinary Neurology; or
•         A Registrar who has completed an accredited residency and is eligible to sit board examinations
