Reliable Service

If you’re using our equipment and anything goes wrong, we‘re there to help out.

We offer 24x7x365 support.

We had equipment from somewhere else originally, but we chose Radincon for the quality of the equipment and because of their reputation. The after sales service is amazing. We call on Sundays or after hours and we always get help. I remember one weekend Alex was on his way out to attend a wedding, but he stopped and took the time to help us out.

                                                                                                                                                                    – Christine Kidd and Pauline Gaven, Manly Road Veterinary Hospital

We also have loan equipment, for when we can’t fix something straight away.

One client called us on a Sunday because all his equipment had been damaged in a fire. We sprang into action, testing and prepping the required units from our fleet to send out straightaway. By Tuesday, the practice was operational again.

Honest Advice

We’re here to help. That starts right at the beginning, even before you buy.

  • What do you need to start a new practice, or to upgrade your current one?
  • Which DR panel is going to work best for your practice?
  • How do you choose between different x-ray options?
  • Which probes will extend the capability of your existing ultrasound to match your patient caseload?

We can advise on all these questions and more.

Radincon have been looking after vets and their diagnostic imaging years for 47 years. We’re in it for the long term. That means we’ll tell you the truth, upfront.

It’s not about a quick sale. It’s about what’s right for you, and right for your patients.

If you’re investigating diagnostic imaging, get in touch. Whether you need something now or you’re planning for the future, we’re here to answer all your questions.

Quick Tips for Jobseekers

Comments Off on Quick Tips for Jobseekers

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?

image of overwhelmed cat

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.     Register with Kookaburra Vet Employment

Let Kookaburra Vets help you narrow down suitable jobs – if you can give us a geographical area and type of practice that you are looking for, then we can send you personalised email alerts with newly listed job information. So if you’re looking for a job in Gippsland, we won’t send you job information for a clinic on the Gold Coast. Avoiding information overload helps you to focus on the best jobs for you.

Kookaburra also sends personalised texts with locum job alerts. We supply full clinic details – so you can decide whether to apply or not.

You can register here: https://www.kookaburravets.com/Australia/VregOz1.asp

4.     Bookmark the m.kookaburravets.com site

Every job on the main Kookaburra Vet Employment website is also listed here – but this one is easy to read on a mobile phone, it is database driven so you can apply filters, and the new jobs listed today will always be at the top of the list. It makes it easy to just keep an eye on new vacancies.

Preparing for Salary Conversations – VNs & Support Staff

Comments Off on Preparing for Salary Conversations – VNs & Support Staff

Pay discussions are a common source of anxiety, both for employees when talking to a current employer or during a search for a new job, and for employers. Preparing yourself with some general knowledge ahead of time can help reduce uncertainty and make these conversations feel less daunting.

  • Veterinary support roles are often advertised without pay rates, making “competitive remuneration” difficult to assess.
  • Most veterinary practices in Australia fall under the Animal Care and Veterinary Services Award 2020, which sets minimum employment conditions and is usually updated each July.
  • In addition, all employees are covered by the National Employment Standards (NES), which outline minimum entitlements regardless of award or contract.

The Animal Care and Veterinary Services Award 2020 covers Veterinary Surgeons, Practice Managers, Veterinary Nurses, Receptionists, Animal attendants and Assistants, & Animal care industry inspectors. The Award covers arrangements such as, but not limited to those below:

Perspective on living & working in a rural or regional area

Comments Off on Perspective on living & working in a rural or regional area
group of Kookaburra staff at the Big Banana, Coffs Harbour

Every time I visit the city, I have an amazing time – as a tourist – enjoying the nightlife, the amazing shows, music and events, marveling at the frequency of public transport, and the bustling vitality. And every time I leave, I’m so glad to be living my normal daily life in a regional area.

As an immigrant to Australia,  I really feel I’m living the Australian Dream. I can afford a house, with a backyard, a dog, 3 cats (indoors of course). Rush-hour happens for 10 minutes when parents picking up from school queue to get on the roundabouts. I’ve lived inland, on acres, with horses, chickens, cattle, alpacas, a veggie garden, and at the coast, where it’s been a 2 minute walk to the beach and I frequently have the beach all to myself. I’ve always got to know and socialize with my neighbours and the local community. Despite having no actual family living nearby, my kids have grown up with an extended community family through all sorts of activities, in family day care, playgroup, sports, music, and then primary and high school, where we run into and keep in touch with the same families over and over again.

Shopping is easy as I can drop in to the shops on my way somewhere else – it doesn’t take long, and we choose from what’s available. And online shopping is our friend for anything we can’t get locally. Local business owners are members of our community.

There’s always a thriving arts and culture scene in regional areas – and it’s so welcoming. We make our own entertainment. I have sung in choirs, performed in local theatre, played in orchestras. Local sport of all types brings the community together.

Being a vet opened all of this up to me – we’re so privileged to be easily able to have this regional lifestyle due to our professional qualification, when many people find themselves unable to stay in regional areas once they’ve moved there, due to the lack of work opportunities.

If you’re thinking about moving to regional NSW, currently there’s a support package for essential workers, which includes employees in Veterinary services, which has come out of the recent Inquiry into the veterinary workforce shortage in NSW.
