For years, I’ve heard the same frustrations from our veterinary community:
“Advertising my vacancy is expensive and clunky. I have no control over my ads. I keep paying a monthly fee, but don’t feel I get any real value. I just feel ripped off, but there’s no other option.”
Right now, many practices think of recruitment as simply placing an advert on Kookaburra and hoping for the best. But that’s not a true job board. A genuine job board is where candidates actively search, compare, and apply for roles — making it easier for the right people to find the right job. And that’s exactly what Vetme has been built to be.
The good news? We’re not stuck anymore. Vetme offers the veterinary profession a better option: fair pricing, one simple fee until your job is filled, and always free for charities and volunteers. It’s built to support clinics and professionals, not take advantage of them.
And here’s the exciting part: every practice that chooses Vetme helps it grow stronger — for all of us.
We’ve all felt the frustration of paying too much for job ads or feeling like the industry isn’t being listened to. Vetme changes that by offering a fairer, community-driven alternative. But it only becomes the go-to job board when more of us choose it.
Helping Vetme grow doesn’t require a big leap. It’s as simple as:
Setting up your free Employer Page — a five-minute job that helps candidates know who you are.
Listing your next job vacancy here — $99 flat fee until mid-November, then $249 “until filled.”
Sharing Vetme with colleagues — so they know there’s a fairer option too.
Visiting Vetme and check out the job listings – even if you’re not looking for a new job right now
Setting up a Candidates Profile – if you’re a new grad, a locum, or looking for a new position.
Each of these steps might feel small, but together they create momentum that benefits the whole profession.
Vetme isn’t owned by corporates or outside investors. It’s built from within our community, designed around transparency, fairness, and support. That makes it something unique and something we can all take pride in building together.
This is about more than just job ads. It’s about creating the kind of recruitment platform our profession has been asking for — one that actually reflects our values.
If you want fairer recruitment in our profession, here’s how you can make a difference today:
👉 Employers: list your next job on Vetme or set up your free Employer Page.
👉 Veterinary professionals: visit Vetme, check out the listings, or set up your Candidate Profile.
👉 Everyone: help spread the word in your networks.
The more we use Vetme, the stronger it becomes. Together, we can finally have a job board that truly works for the veterinary community. And because Vetme was built for our community, I’m always open to suggestions on how it can grow and improve.
I'm the founder of both Vetanswers and now Vetme, Australia’s dedicated job board for the veterinary industry. With over a decade supporting clinics and professionals through Vetanswers, I saw firsthand the challenges practices faced when hiring — from high costs to limited visibility. So I created Vetme to offer a fairer, more transparent alternative: one low fee, no time limits, and a platform built just for the veterinary profession. I'm passionate about community, connection, and helping clinics find the right people, so I'll continue to support solutions that put the needs of the veterinary industry first.
