Caloundra

Krystal Herbert

Practice Manager

As our practice manager Krystal brings a wealth of knowledge for both domestic pets and wildlife. She graduated with a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing after years of hands on experience and training.

After spending most of her adult life on the Sunshine Coast, Krystal and her family left for a 7 year hiatus to Melbourne. After missing her family, friends and the beach, she decided to bring her nursing and management skills back home.

When not working, Krystal has her hands full with 2 children, a husband, 2 German Shepard’s and a cat that can do no wrong. She feels so privileged to be working with such an amazing and supportive team at Greencross Caloundra and Kawana Waters.

Dr. Monique Einsiedel

Veterinary Director

Dr Monique has been with Greencross Caloundra for many years and considers it her second family. Monique is loved by her team and clients, and has been awarded numerous awards including the Greencross National Vet Associate of the Year in 2023. She has a strong interest in small animal medicine, and is currently studying to undertake further exams in this area. One of her favourite things at work is performing ultrasonography, and seeing as many Cavalier King Charles Spaniels as she can!

In her spare time, you will find her with her precious rescue dog Alfie, her cheeky ginger cat Walter, and her sweet Cavalier, Sienna.

Brodie Neilson

Veterinary Nurse

I have always been passionate about making a difference every day, so I decided to join the wonderful Greencross Vets Caloundra team in 2021 through their Internship program to enhance the lives of all our patients and clients.

With Greencross’ ongoing support, I have completed my Cert II in Animal Care & Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing as well as further Emergency and Critical Care studies. I love working closely with our Hospital and Internal Medicine patients to overcome and medically manage their conditions to ensure a quick recovery and improve their overall well-being and quality of life.

When not at the clinic I enjoy baking, gaming, and spending time with my 3 cats.

Natasha Genge

Veterinary Nurse

Natasha started volunteering/working with animals at vet clinics when she was 15 years of age. In that time, she have learnt that animals are such unique creatures. She has now a qualified Vet Nurse who loves making animals feel cared for and loved when they come into the clinic and is bursting with pride knowing that she will always be learning which feeds her passion for her job.
Natasha feels it a huge honour to be a part of this wonderful Greencross team, where each team member holds a very high standard of care for every patient and creates an encouraging environment to be a part of.
When not at work you might find her playing soccer with her adopted two year old black Labrador, enjoying the coastal beaches, or playing piano.

Taylah Mills

Veterinary Nurse

A lifelong dream of Taylah’s has been to work in the animal industry, she grew up being surrounded by animals, on a farm. Moving to the Sunshine Coast in 2019, Taylah applied for the Greencross Vets Internship program and began to grow her skills as a Veterinary Nurse and settled into her new ‘home’, Greencross Caloundra team.
Away from the clinic, Taylah enjoys playing netball, cooking and enjoying the outdoors.

Rachelle Loney

Veterinary Nurse

Rachelle has instinctively had a passion for animals from a very young age, and for as long as she could remember would always talk about working with animals one day. She got my first taste of the Veterinary industry in high school when she did work experience in a small clinic on the Gold Coast. After finishing high school she moved to the Sunshine Coast and began studying a Bachelor of Applied Science majoring in Veterinary Technology. Since she joined at Greencross Caloundra, she has been given multiple opportunities to transition from student to nurse.

Outside of the clinic, she can be found enjoying the beach, camping, music, and spending time with family and her dog.

June Collins

Receptionist

June has been the clients first point of contact at Greencross Vets as our receptionist for over two decades, and needless to say her warm smile makes everyone feel safe and cared for. At the present time I only have a lovely rescue cat called Lucky.
She really enjoys that no day is the same at Greencross Vets and that her team work relentlessly to provide all patients and their pet parents with with compassion and respect they deserve.

When she is not at work, she can be found keeping fit, spending time with my family and friends and the beach and bush are two of her favourite places.
