Dr Julia

I have been blessed to live my dream of being a small animal vet for over 2 decades now! My love for animals, coupled with my love of medicine and problem solving pushed me to embark on a journey that not only brought my dream to reality, but also brought me to the land I now love and call home.

I studied vet science at Murdoch University, WA and came to Adelaide as a new graduate in 2003. I moved back to my country of birth for a few years, where I continued as a small animal vet, learning heaps more about tropical diseases and small pocket pets which were in abundance in the concrete jungle of Singapore. I helped set up a new practice and was able to help many families and their pets, many of whom had never been to the vet before.

I have had the privilege of meeting and helping lots of amazing animals and their families over the years in my capacity as a full-time or part-time vet, locum and even as a mobile vet.

I love helping out at pop-up clinics as a volunteer vet, and also helping out at different charity organisations in any capacity. I exercise my right brain through creative outlets like kids musicals and amateur costume designing.

When I’m not helping our furry four-legged companions, I am busy with my 2-legged mammals and all it takes to keep life rolling. We share our lives with Chip, an epileptic labradoodle; Fuli, a rescue cat and Sox, her son whom she loves to hate.
