At Sunset Vets we’re extremely proud of the amazing model of in-home palliative and end-of-life veterinary care that we’ve created. We’re super fortunate to have a network of like-minded Vets who love to deliver spectacular end of life care that absolutely makes a difference to our beautiful patients and their families.

"We’re super fortunate to have a network of like-minded Vets who love to deliver spectacular end of life care"

How have we managed to create, sustain, and expand our fabulous Sunset Vets team? The short answer is having a clear mission, establishing a values-based foundation then taking a people centred approach with everything we do.

Part of our mission is to lead the emerging field of veterinary palliative care which is one of the core reasons why Vets connect with our work plus it really helps that our main patient demographic are beautiful seniors – I mean who doesn’t love a grey muzzle, wobbly legs and eyes filled with years of love and loyalty?

We have an established well-defined set of values and vision that’s shared by every team member which allows us to deliberately craft a team that operates professionally from the heart; it’s easy to see all our Vets and Patient Care Co-Ordinators are all extraordinary humans.

We provide wrap around support for our Vet team from professional education, central points of contact for all things medical, comprehensive patient and visit co-ordination to regular team social events. In addition to our Patient Care Co-Ordinators who take care of all the logistics associated with visits we also have a Team Development Lead that concentrates on supporting our Vets with non patient related needs.

We believe it’s vitally important to have a dedicated team culture and well being resource because we deeply care about every team member and want to enable them to give of their very best and feel valued in return. Over the years we’ve celebrated so many of life’s milestone and precious moments with members of our team and sent even more care packages during the tough times because our ethos of compassion and care extends way beyond words.

Being part of Sunset Vets Team is to truly be part of something extraordinary. For more information on careers CLICK HERE.

Testimonials

Such an amazing, wonderful and supportive team. Saying goodbye to my little girl was hard, but the Sunset team took so much of the burden. They helped arrange cremation at a time when I could barely get 2 words out between sobs and were patient and helpful when I changed my mind about what time I wanted them to come. I will sing their praises until I'm hoarse and will tell everyone I meet.

Absolutely outstanding care, compassion and support given by Dr Jackie and her team! Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for making a very difficult time much more bearable with such care :)

Thank you so much for looking after our family so well over the past years. Thank you for helping us through this most difficult decision and process. Your sensitivity and professionalism helped so much. The pain and the emptiness is almost unbearable but we have so very many happy, happy memories to treasure. Guess we'll just have to bring in the mail and the papers ourselves now! With thanks again.

Thankyou doesn't seem enough to convey our heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding care you have given Eddie. Your compassion and support helped us navigate what was for us a truly traumatic day and for that we will be forever grateful. So thankyou to the whole team for everything you have done as well as all the knowledge you have shared which enabled us to give Eddie such a happy and healthy life.

Thank you to the extraordinary team at Sunset Vets who provided a high level of care and compassion when we recently had to say goodbye to our 14-year-old girl, Jewel. Allowing her to go at home in familiar surroundings made the process less stressful for her, our younger dog and ourselves. Special thanks to Ashlee for her compassionate manner on the phone (who arranged this for us at short notice)... and Dr Jan who was gentle and caring when it mattered most. We're grateful you've provided this service on the Sunshine Coast.
