Comments Off on Are Vets and Vet Nurses underpaid?
Kookaburra recently completed a small online survey of vets and vet nurses. We asked “Do you think you are paid appropriately considering the work that you do?”, to try to ascertain the general satisfaction with wage rates in the profession.
We received 398 responses, and 91.2% of respondents felt they were underpaid.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of jobs available for vets at the moment? Every clinic in Australia seems to be desperate for more vets. How do you pick the right clinic for you?
1.
Create a profile of your ideal job and employer.
First
think about your current and previous jobs – and decide what you might like to
avoid in your next job, and what might be missing in your current job.
What
is most satisfying in your current job.
You
may have a preferred geographical area – but remember to be open to jobs outside
this area too. Your perfect job might be just a little farther away or in a
suburb that you’ve not yet considered.
What
kind of workplace culture are you after? Vet Clinics are getting better at
personalising their advertising, and giving an idea of their culture and
mission.
Do
you want to work for a large company group? Benefits can include the
opportunity for in house education, networking, work opportunities or transfers
with other practices within the group, and a range of more corporate perks and
benefits. Or is a smaller, more unique practice with hands on input from one or
more Owner Vets more your style?
2.
Use your connections to research clinics
Don’t
be afraid to interview the Clinic – ask to have a chat with current staff,
including the vet nurses. Spend a few trial days at the Clinic if possible
3.
