We are seeking an experienced vet to accompany the team on this surgical desexing program.

The Program Details

• Communities we’ll visit: Ngukurr and Urapuna, communities in the Roper Gulf Region, south of Kathernine. Ngukurr is one of the largest indigenous communities in the Roper Gulf region, with over 1000 residents.​​​​​​

• Project Team: You will be travelling via road in a team of four to five, which will include three AMRRIC staff members who are familiar with the program.
• What to expect: The volunteer can expect red dirt, beautiful sunsets and sunrises and warm days. Volunteers, along with the AMRRIC team, will be involved in delivering a high-volume surgical desexing program, as well as providing animal health consults where required.
• Qualifications required: All volunteers for this program will be required to have a current NT Working with Children Clearance (we can assist in obtaining this) and currently be registered as a Veterinary Surgeon within Australia. Due to the high volume nature, we are seeking an experienced surgical vet.

You will be travelling via road in a team of four to five, which will include an experienced AMRRIC staff member who is familiar with the program. The team will drive back on Tuesday 15 July, arriving in the evening. You will then be able to travel home from Darwin from Wednesday 16 July onwards.
