Are you an Internal Medicine Specialist who loves interesting cases and would like a life outside the hospital?
Melbourne Veterinary Specialist Centre (MVSC) is looking for a board‑certified specialist (or a registrar close to sitting exams) to join our friendly, collaborative multidisciplinary team in Melbourne.
Why MVSC?
MVSC is a leading multidisciplinary specialist hospital delivering advanced care across Internal Medicine, Surgery, Dermatology and Behavioural Medicine. We’re known for excellent medicine, strong referral relationships… and being a place where people enjoy coming to work!
We operate across two Melbourne locations:
Glen Waverley (Main Hospital)
Essendon Fields (Dermatology only)
All Internal Medicine is based at Glen Waverley, in our purpose‑built hospital with the toys you actually want:
Brand new high‑field MRI
64‑slice CT
Full diagnostic suite supporting thorough workups and informed clinical outcomes
You’ll join an established Internal Medicine service with two experienced specialists and a resident, backed by capable, multidisciplinary specialist teams in Surgery, Dermatology and Behavioural Medicine.
The Role (AKA: the good stuff)
You’ll be doing what you trained for — with support around you:
Manage a varied and complex referral caseload
Deliver high‑quality, evidence‑based specialist care
Work closely with our specialist teams across Surgery, Dermatology and Behavioural Medicine
Help shape the ongoing growth and development of the Internal Medicine service
Enjoy autonomy with strong support when you need it (because nobody wins medals for doing everything alone)
Work‑Life Balance
Specialist life can be intense — we get it. This role is designed for sustainability:
Structured, manageable workload
Minimal after‑hours requirements
Full‑time or part‑time flexibility (we’ll work with your life, not against it)
Growth & Support
At MVSC, you’ll have:
Access to a national network of specialists and referral hospitals
CPD support and ongoing development
Opportunities to mentor, collaborate and contribute to service growth
A culture that values clinical excellence, innovation and teamwork (and also a little humour)
What We’re Looking For
Veterinary degree registerable in Australia
Specialist qualifications (FANZCVS, DACVIM or DECVIM) or residency completed with plans to sit exams soon
Open to someone starting on a fixed‑term contract first, with the option to move permanent once you’ve had a proper feel for the hospital
Why Melbourne?
Because Melbourne is excellent: great food, great coffee, sport everywhere, culture for days — plus coastlines and wine regions close enough for an actual weekend off.
Ready to chat?
If you’re keen to do great medicine in a hospital that’s serious about both clinical standards and staff wellbeing, we’d love to hear from you.
