Description

About Perth Vet Emergency (PVE)
Perth Vet Emergency (PVE) Cannington is a fast-paced, progressive and well renowned 24/7 emergency service hospital. We are a trusted leader in Emergency and Critical Care for small animals and our vision is to set the highest possible standard for ECC medicine in Australia. We have an inclusive and compassionate team of Client Care Representatives, Management, Nurses, and Veterinarians. PVE has an exceptional reputation, one that has been built on a culture of genine support and care for not only patients and clients but the wellbeing of staff also. The leadership team continue to focus in this area to strengthen and grow moving forward.
About Animal Emergency Australia (AEA)
For our clients, employee ownership translates to a level of care that goes beyond professional duty. When clients entrust us with the well-being of their pets, they can rest assured that our commitment to excellence is driven by those who care most: the professionals who own and operate our practices. Every member of our team is passionate about making a difference in the lives of animals, driven by a genuine love for the work they do.
As a veterinary professional, you understand the difference that meaningful ownership can make. At Animal Emergency Australia, our model allows us to reinvest profits into our facilities, professional development, and enhanced patient care, without being beholden to external shareholders. This autonomy enables us to focus solely on veterinary excellence and continuously refine our systems, processes, and training for incremental improvements in patient outcomes.
When you collaborate with us, you’re not engaging with a corporate entity. Instead, you are partnering with the very owners of the practice — veterinary professionals who are invested both personally and professionally in delivering the best possible care. Our values and decisions come from those directly involved in the care of patients, ensuring that clinical integrity and compassionate service are always our top priorities.
Our employee-ownership model gives every team member a voice in shaping how we operate, from clinical decisions to business strategies. It fosters an environment where veterinary professionals can take ownership of their work, contribute to the organisation’s direction, and be recognized for their impact on both business performance and patient care.
