Some of the most common questions that we get asked at Kookaburra Veterinary Employment relate to Salary levels. We’d appreciate if you would help us collect some up to date information by completing this short anonymous survey, if you are a veterinarian currently working in Australia. The more vets reply, the more useful this information is. In 2016 we received replies from 255 vets – help us beat this number!
The results will be available on request from Kookaburra Vets, however, if you wish to provide us with your email address we will also email you a copy. Thank you for your help.
