Just like humans, animals can get sick or injured. But unlike us, they are unable to communicate what is ailing them, and can often live in pain for a long time if left untreated. If you have a love for animals and want to hone your skills in caring for them, you may want to consider entering into a veterinary nursing course.
Veterinary nurses fill an essential role in providing quality veterinary healthcare in any vet team, from providing compassionate care to sick or injured animals, to communicating to pet owners how to properly take care of their furry and feathered friends. Both rewarding and challenging, you’ll find that undertaking vet nurse training in WA will open up a career path that will not only be exciting and dynamic, with no two days the same but will also deepen your love for animals, too.
Upon completion, you will have the approval to perform veterinary nursing duties as amended under the WA Veterinary Surgeons Act 1960. You’ll be able to work as:
- Veterinary Nurse
- Veterinary Surgical Assistant
- Veterinary Receptionist
- Animal Carer
- Animal Welfare Worker
