Yvonne L

Veterinary Nurse

Yvonne is a Certificate IV veterinary nurse who has always loved animals despite not growing up around them. Since graduating high school, she has completed a Bachelor of Applied Science with an Extended Major in Equine Science (2013) before coming back to study a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing (2021).

She adopted her first pet in 2016 – Ajax, a Staffy x Shih Tzu – and her family has grown since. She also has a bluetongue skink, a Quarter Horse X, a cockatiel, another Staffy X and recently added 2 Barnvelder chickens to the family. In 2024, she welcomed her first child to the world and life has been much busier since then!

Yvonne is most happy being an all-rounder, whether she is out the back preparing and assisting with surgery, floating to help vets take bloods and run tests or doing some reception work. She also has experience in an emergency setting and has worked in a reproduction clinic.

In her free time, you will find Yvonne relaxing or gaming on her computer, spending time with her family and pets and participating in historical re-enactment events with her husband like the Abbey Medieval Festival that’s on every year in Caboolture.

Rhiannon J

Veterinary Nurse

Rhiannon has spent almost two decades working in various vet clinics throughout Brisbane, with experience as a practice manager dog groomering. At Greencross, she has a soft spot for our senior pets and is passionate about keeping them as comfortable as possible. This may be influenced by the fact that Rhiannon is a pet parent to two Golden Oldies herself- “Percy” a Greyhound and “Sally” a Staffy.

On the weekends you will most likely find her at the playground with her daughter or walking her fur kids down by the bay. Rhiannon is looking forward to getting to know our regular clients and meeting their much loved pets
