Richard Graduated from Melbourne University with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 1997. He spent 4 years as a Dairy cattle vet in cold and windy Warrnambool in Victoria before travelling around Australia working as a locum veterinarian. Richard has spent time working in mixed and small animal practices in Western Australia, Darwin and Port Maquarie, treating a diverse range of animals. Richard has worked as a vet in Townsville since 2005. Richard’s interest include fishing, camping. 4WDing and large breed dogs. If Richard was to be rencarnated he would choose to be a bird, so he can fly!

Emmi joined the management team in 2013. With a background of management outside the veterinary field she enjoys the challenge of balancing patient, client and team needs. Originally from Victoria she loves the warm weather. She has called Townsville home since 2005 and loves the relaxed and friendly atmosphere in North Queensland. At home her large dog and children keep her busy and entertained! If re-encarnated, Emmi would love to be a dolphin as she would be intelligent, able to swim freely and make others happy. 

Meet Jodie! Jodie joined our team in October 2024, bringing 20+ years of experience with her. She has been a Townsville girl her whole life—a true Aussie Bogan, if you will. Jodie loves all animals, with five dogs, a bird, a snake, and a guinea pig to keep her on her toes. When she isn’t working, Jodie enjoys camping, jet skiing, and exercising her animals. If Jodie were to be reincarnated, she would be an Ape, free in a forest.
