Healesville Sanctuary Vet for a Day

Interested in becoming a vet?

Our Australian Wildlife Health Centre receives over 1,500 injured and orphaned wild animals each year. Come and work alongside our vets in a unique program on real life cases involving Healesville Sanctuary’s animal collection, including nocturnal endangered species, as well as injured wildlife brought to the hospital.

Vet for a Day allows participants to work in our vet hospital for the day, helping out our vets and learning about one of the most rewarding jobs!

You will go behind-the-scenes, taking part in many daily duties of a vet which could include:

• Animal contact
• Diagnosis
• Suturing
• Health checks
• Rehabilitation
• Post mortem
