The Avenue Veterinary Clinic: Community Contribution Finalist in the Casey Business Awards 2024

The Avenue Veterinary Clinic, a small animal hospital established in December 2017, has been named a finalist in the local business awards for community contribution.

Founded by two part-time veterinarians and two nurses, the clinic was created to counter the trend of local clinics being acquired by multinational companies. The founding veterinarians, who are also the clinic’s directors, have extensive experience in Melbourne’s southeastern suburbs and a deep understanding of the community’s needs.

The clinic’s vision is to provide the best veterinary care at an affordable cost, particularly serving the 48% of the City of Casey’s population aged 25-59, including many young families and retirees. Since its inception, The Avenue Veterinary Clinic has kept prices for basic services such as consultations, de-sexing, health checks, vaccinations, and microchipping affordable. The clinic’s customized, gold-standard care for each patient has been well-received by the community, boasting 242 Google reviews with a 4.8/5 rating and 73 Facebook reviews with a 5/5 rating.

The Avenue Veterinary Clinic has grown significantly, now employing five full-time, five permanent part-time, and three casual staff members, most of whom reside in the City of Casey. The clinic offers training and job opportunities to the local community, providing work placements for Year 10 students from local secondary schools and training over 30 veterinary nurses in collaboration with TAFEs.

The clinic collaborates with around ten rescue organizations, providing veterinary services at significantly reduced rates. In the past year alone, it has provided over $150,000 in services to community organisations with discounts exceeding $65,000. The Avenue Veterinary Clinic’s commitment to community-based care and honest treatment recommendations has led to sustained growth in clients and revenue, making it a deserving finalist in the community contribution category.

Congratulations The Avenue Veterinary Clinic!
