Dr Amelia Fallon

Amelia graduated from Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland in Gatton. Since then she has mainly worked as a small animal veterinarian, though originally she wanted to be in mixed practice having grown up in rural NSW.

Amelia has always had a passion for veterinary medicine and has wanted to be a vet ever since she was a little girl. She loves working with owners to improve animal health and strengthen the human-animal bond.

When not working, she likes to spend her time camping and exploring the outdoors with her family and animals.
Amelia and her husband Baden welcomed their first baby, Brinley, in December 2019, and she is already just as animal obsessed and maybe a future veterinarian as well!

Jerica Thornton

Jerica is originally from Canada, and graduated from Western University with a degree in criminology. After moving to Australia she found her interests lay elsewhere, and pursued a career working with animals as a veterinary nurse.

She has two mischeveous Italian greyhounds at home who she loves (and spoils) dearly. Back in Canada, Jerica has a border collie cross blue heeler, who is enjoying retirement with her parents. Jerica and her siblings were always animal lovers, and she grew up with a wide variety of smaller pets, including rats, mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, a range of fish and amphibians

Kathryn Zwart

I have been vet nursing for just over 3 years. My areas of interest include surgery and pathology. I enjoy seeing difficult cases and working with the vets to obtain the best result for the patient.

I also enjoy being able to lead a team to success and provide support to staff when the day doesn’t go to plan.

Although I love to see all creatures fluffy, feathery and scaly, I have a real soft spot for the oldies and I always make sure they get endless cuddles and treats so they don’t feel forgotten. I own two very spoilt Dachshunds, Ruby and Ivy.

Cassie Steele

Cassie has been around animals her whole life and turned her passion into a career 10 years ago working at the University of Queensland.

Cassie is our resident unusual pet lover and will be the first person to go meet any pocket pets and reptiles brought in. Cassie has two pet Frilled-neck lizards, ‘Clever’ and ‘Frildo Baggins’, a Crabbet Arabian horse ‘Benny’ and a Finnish Lapphund called Nukka.
