Georgie Burley

Georgie has always had a strong passion for animals and began her veterinary career when she was 14 years old. After graduating high school, Georgie started working in a number of other industries including real estate, customer service and administration but a career in the veterinary industry kept calling her back.

After returning to the industry and completing her Cert III in 2018, Georgie has not looked back. Her tireless efforts and devotion to her work saw her promoted to a Practice Management role in 2020 and joined our Robina team in 2021. Georgie considers us her ‘second family’ and loves the positive, fun and friendly environment provided by her team.

Outside of work, Georgie’s interests include gardening, photography and arts & crafts. You will also find her spending time with her fiance, rescued pets and swimming in the ocean all year round!

Chloe Gambin

Chloe has been in the veterinary industry since 2006 and joined the Robina team in 2015 as our Veterinary Nursing Manager. She worked as one of our surgical and hospital nurses ensuring the day ran smoothly before taking maternity leave in 2018.

Since having her beautiful daughter Mila, Chloe has recently returned to work. She says the nurturing part of being a vet nurse has played a huge role in raising her daughter. In addition to this, Chloe’s new found motherhood has brought out even MORE passion when it comes to caring for our wonderful patients at Robina!

Although Chloe’s heart holds a lot of love for all creatures great, small, and hairless (i.e. babies), she has a massive soft spot for anything staffy! This however might be a biased opinion as she has two beautifully natured American Staffys at home; a red nosed “Alby” and a blue nosed “Comino”.

Chloe enjoys every aspect of her job however has special interest in non-routine surgeries and abscess treatments! Outside of work, Chloe loves spending time with her family, going to the gym, and riding her horse Trixie.

Whilst living in the UK, Dr Louise and her partner also took advantage of this time to travel Europe; a couple of their favourite countries include Italy, Germany and Iceland.
