We provide health care services and advice for companion animals and their owners in Scarborough, Redcliffe and the surrounding areas including Newport, Margate, Woody Point, Clontarf, Kippa-Ring, Rothwell, Deception Bay, Mango Hill and North Lakes.

Our Support Crew
Bec
VN Bec Vet Nurse Bec has lived on the peninsula most of her life and is a Redcliffe girl through and through. Her affinity with animals was evident from a very young age and she always aspired to be a veterinary nurse. In her teenage years, Bec spent her weekends volunteering in the cattery at the Peninsula Animal Aid and undertook work placement at Scarborough Veterinary Surgery.
After having her family, Bec reignited her passion and commenced her vet nursing studies, returning to Scarborough Vet Surgery as a trainee and has completed Certificate IV in Vet Nursing. She has a very peaceful and gentle way about her when caring for your pets, and loves nothing more than caring for our elderly patients with frosted faces. Bec is a fear free technician.
Brittany
VN Brittany brings her bright and happy personality into work everyday. She started at the Scarborough vet surgery in 2018 as a trainee and completed Certificate IV in Vet Nursing in 2020. She has had a passion and love for animals from a very young age. VN Brittany has a special interest in all things puppies and kittens and runs our puppy preschool program. When she’s not at work you can find her with her family including her nephews, her three spoilt little kitties and her two dogs. She also loves to go horseback riding or curl up with a good book.
Caitlin
Meet Caitlin our newest trainee to the clinic! She is currently completing her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. From a young age, Caitlin’s dream was to help and care for animals. So after a few years travelling around Europe and South East Asia, it was time to chase that dream.
On her days off, you will find Caitlin in a café sipping coffee, or off camping with her Border Collie to the beach or the bush!
