Focusing on best practice, the Stress Free Pets program is developed and delivered in collaboration with Vet Behaviour Specialists and internationally recognised experts. Stress Free Pets is an animal handling and behaviour education program designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver patient care that minimises stress in the clinical environment. Providing a calmer experience allows for easier diagnosis, treatment and for you to provide the best possible care to your patients.
Our bespoke and individualised accreditation process formally recognises clinics for the exceptional quality of care they provide to our patients. This accreditation reassures our clients that they can expect the safest and highest level of clinical care at any Greencross location they visit. Driven by the team leaders, the self-audit process is completed every year, with a post-audit visit from a Regional Clinical Director and Area Manager every second year. The program empowers our teams to excel in areas such as anaesthesia, pain management, surgery, dentistry and continuing education.
We are committed to clinical excellence and providing evidence-based treatments to all our patients. As one of the largest veterinary clinic groups in Australia and New Zealand and a leader in clinical care, we partner with researchers and universities to provide meaningful contributions to the advancement of veterinary medicine. Many Greencross Vets clinics actively participate in clinical trials.
At Greencross we are proud to lead the way in the veterinary industry by supporting our teams with Paid Parental Leave, flexible working arrangements and a structured return to work clinical program. Paid Parental Leave provides financial assistance to primary caregivers of any gender upon birth or adoption of their child. Our structured return-to-work program is designed to support you as you return to clinical work after an extended break, such as parental leave. This program will equip you with the skills and knowledge to make your return to clinical work as seamless as possible.

Our Mental Health First Aid Officers are trained to proactively support mental health issues at work.
At Greencross, we are committed to making sure our team is supported with any issue, big or small. The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides all team members and their immediate family with access to 24/7 counselling and support services. Team members can receive support for both work and non-work related personal issues. The EAP also provides access to a range of other benefits including health calculators and tobacco cessation plans.
The Petbarn Foundation was established in 2012 with a mission to help pet-related charities and welfare organisations care for animals in need. Since then, the Foundation has raised over $20 million, providing hundreds of small and large charities across Australia with financial support. In the wake of the Australian Bushfire disaster in 2020, the Petbarn Foundation distributed over $1.4 million in funds, products and services for those directly affected by the fires including a $75,000 donation to Vets Beyond Borders and delivering over $100,000 of pet food to rural areas. Over 56,000 pets have found loving homes through Petbarn Adoption Centres across Australia.
In six years, the Foundation raised $3 million for Seeing Eye Dogs Australia, to provide training for 60 service dogs. Through the Foundation’s partnership with the RSPCA and other rescue organisations, more than 47,000 pets have been rehomed with 100% of adoption fees returned to the partners.
Every year we offer team members the opportunity to get their hands dirty and participate in subsidised animal welfare volunteer programs both within Australia and internationally with partners including the RSPCA, and Vets Beyond Borders. In recent years our volunteer program has organized for a team to volunteer in Port Moresby, PNG and also Sikkim in India.
