I worked for Dr Tara before moving to Rockhampton in 2021 for my husband’s work, and I’ve remained closely connected with the Midwest team, returning as a locum when needed. I joined soon after Dr Tara and Practice Manager Nat purchased the practice and quickly experienced a culture of trust, teamwork and genuine support. As a new vet, I felt welcomed, well mentored and secure in my role. Midwest is known for compassionate, high-quality care, supported by efficient systems, clear communication and a well-organised workflow. The work is varied and rewarding, from consultations and surgery to large animal call-outs, with fair rostering and strong support for work-life balance. As the sole after-hours provider for a large regional population, the clinic also offers unique and meaningful clinical experiences. Tara and Nat are engaged, approachable leaders who work alongside the team and address issues promptly. I would strongly recommend Midwest to experienced vets.

I worked at this clinic since graduating from university at the end of 2019. Since starting here, my skillset has dramatically improved as we have a varied and exciting case load. As our closest referral hospital is over 5 hours away, we have the opportunity to do complex work ups and surgeries and advanced emergency medicine. There is a good mixture of large and small animal work, as we see goats, sheep, alpacas, horses, cows, pocket pets, dogs and cats. Being able to work in a rural setting has been rewarding and you do feel like a vital part of the community. I have been challenged to improve as a vet, however, I have always had support and someone to call, no matter the time or day. The nurses are supportive and have excellent skills to assist us vets. The clinic's management is supportive, continually finds ways to improve working conditions and equipment for our team. The salary is more than competitive. I would recommend this clinic as a great workplace for someone interested ...
