The Small Animal Specialist Hospital (SASH) is the largest, privately owned network of veterinary hospitals in the Southern Hemisphere, offering multi-disciplinary specialist and emergency services across multiple locations in New South Wales, South Australia and Queensland. At SASH, we are committed to providing exceptional care and service to pets, their families, and the veterinary community. This is an exciting chance for you to be part of the next group of Interns in our new, purpose build hospital, SASH Gold Coast!  

The Internship:  
This prestigious program will provide you with an opportunity to work alongside our experienced specialists and emergency clinicians, providing care to our patients and their families. This program offers a structured learning opportunity, providing you access to a varied case load, advanced equipment and imaging facilities, and the support of the wider SASH team. Clinical shifts will be roughly split 50/50 between our emergency room and our intensive care unit.
