Claire graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2005. After working in a busy mixed country practice Claire joined our team in early 2007. It is not only Claire’s fantastic veterinary skills, but also her bubbly personality and compassionate nature that has made her a valuable part of our team.

Whilst Siobon was already an integral part of our team, her time away has seen her return with a greater degree of confidence and maturity that now places her as one of our senior vets who display exceptional Veterinary skills, in particular her surgical skills are a real asset to the practice.

Sarah is a black belt in karate, loves to bake, plays video games, and has recently taken up knitting – but she has to keep those tempting balls of yarn away from her naughty tortoiseshell cat Vanilla!
