Our Veterinary Director Charlotte grew up on a beef cattle property in beautiful Maleny before graduating from the University of Queensland in 2010. After graduating she moved to remote WA and managed the South Hedland Vet Hospital for seven years before returning home to the Sunshine Coast. She loves the outdoors and exploring the more isolated and beautiful parts of our country.

Charlotte performs a vast array of orthopedic and soft tissue surgeries within the clinic and loves seeing the new lease on life that this provides for her patients.

Jade Donoghue

Veterinary Nurse

Ever since Jade can remember she has always wanted to work with animals. Her purpose is to help others in need and after studying Psychology for just under two years she felt something was missing. She initially volunteered at the Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge to get some basic experience and to care for the surrendered animals which she really enjoyed. She then decided to switch up careers and joined our team in 2020 to start her Vet Nursing career with our Greencross internship program studying her Certificate II in Animal Studies. She has now found a love for creating a rapport and relationship with our clients and is now our main receptionist. Her dream dog is a Golden Retriever so if you own one, she will without a doubt make time for cuddles! In her free time, you will find her at the beach, going on walks or road tripping in her van.
