You can look at the app and website and receive the fortnightly newsletter through your University or direct via mailchimp, but did you know that you can also register your dream job outline with Kookaburra?

The veterinary employment market has been very buoyant in recent years but that has not always been the case nor will it always be. We are already seeing a contraction of the vet job market in Australia as belts are tightened in response to a worsening economic climate and, sadly, pet health is often one of the first things to suffer. I vividly recall an extended period in the past when practices were very resistant to employing graduates and the heartbreak that caused when graduates could not find work and were forced to move into other industries. Hopefully that will never happen again but you can future proof yourself by registering with Kookaburra now.

Why Bother?

You will be the FIRST to hear about every suitable vacancy before it is even live on our website – you won’t have to wait to receive a newsletter.

You will ONLY receive notification of jobs that suit your own personal criteria – you tell us what your perfect job looks like and that’s what we’ll consider when sending you jobs.

You will START a lifelong relationship with Kookaburra – we’ll be there for you whenever it’s time for a new challenge, reactivating your registration when you tell us it’s time to change jobs.

You will have ACCESS to an important resource – Kookaburra has immense knowledge of all things job-wise in the veterinary industry and we’re happy to share that with you.

You can BROADEN your horizons by registering for jobs anywhere in the world – let us know you’re prepared to work with sun bears in Borneo or elephants in Thailand or whatever your interest is and we’ll share those jobs with you as received.

Above all else, we actually care about finding you the right place within the veterinary industry and we’re here to support you while you discover your passion.  When you graduate, Kookaburra will likely be there as well, providing your graduating class with a photo booth for the night or gifts such as wireless phone chargers or pick-me-up candy or by financially supporting your year’s special projects.

It has been interesting to read the NSW Parliamentary Committee report from its Inquiry into the veterinary workforce shortage in NSW. ( See Report ) The committee has made over 30 recommendations to help address the concerns demonstrated by the significant number of stakeholders who contributed to the enquiry.

The mention by Southern Cross University of their planned Veterinary School prompted me to compare our schools in Australia & New Zealand to the ones in the UK. Those of us who graduated some time ago may be surprised at the growth that has taken place in the veterinary education sphere.
