Veterinarians

Lou graduated from Sydney University in 2000 and started working on the NSW-Victoria border near the Snowy Mountains. She moved to Bowral in the Southern Highlands for 6 years, interspersed with a 1yr internship in small animal surgery in Sydney and 18mths of travelling and locum work in the UK. Still restless, Lou completed more locum work around Australia before moving to our sister practice Kippax Veterinary Hospital where she has worked since July 2009. In January 2014, Lou transferred to us here at Queanbeyan Vet Hospital and is now a partner in Queanbeyan Vet Hospital and Jerrabomberra Vet Hospital. Lou lives with her husband Greg and their 3yr old retriever Ernie, who is a qualified Pets as Therapy dog for Delta. When not working, Lou can be found relaxing with friends and family, visiting Greg’s farm in western NSW, or training for triathlons.

Originally from north Queensland, Jenny graduated from James Cook University in 2011. She worked in mixed practice for 12 months in QLD, followed by a short working holiday in Tasmania, before moving to join us at Queanbeyan in 2013. After 2 years here, she left for the UK, where she enjoyed working in a small animal practice by the sea in Sussex. Jenny returned to Queanbeyan Vet Hospital in April 2016 and (aside from cute puppy vaccinations) has an interest in imaging and internal medicine.

Suzanne is a veterinarian passionate about improving pets’ lives by treating the whole animal, from nose to tail. She believes every pet deserves a happy, healthy life and enjoys educating owners on how to achieve it. Suzanne has worked with a wide range of animals, from horses and farm animals to companion pets—and even the occasional giraffe. She holds Batchelor Degrees in Veterinary Science, Applied Science (Equine) and a Graduate Diploma in Animal Biomechanical Medicine, with a special interest in chiropractic, osteopathy, and acupuncture. Outside of work, Suzanne and her partner breed and train working dogs, cattle, and Quarter horses on their farm.

Dr. Alison is one of the partners here at Queanbeyan Veterinary Hospital. She began her career in mixed animal practice in Gerringong before moving to England. She worked there in small animal practice for four years and also managed to see some of the world during this time. After another short stint at the coast, she moved to Canberra in 2004. Since this time she has done further study in radiography, ultrasonography, and management of radioactive substances allowing the use of radioactive iodine to treat cats with hyperthyroidism. Alison has two boys (Jack and Hugh) to keep her busy when not at work. Her main interests outside of work and family are sport, cooking and traveling.

Lilli graduated from Sydney University in 2023 and is excited to begin her career at Queanbeyan Veterinary Hospital. She has a broad interest in general practice small animal medicine and surgery. Outside of work, Lilli enjoys spending time reading, walking, hiking, skiing, spending time with family and her ginger cat named George.

Molly graduated from Charles Sturt University in 2022, before beginning her career in Canberra and then starting with us at QVH in mid 2023. Molly grew up on the Monaro, so although she now works primarily with small animals, she does have a soft spot for largies- and is often found on her parent's and grandparent's properties in Cooma on the weekends. Molly has an interest in exotic medicine (especially rats!) and small animal surgery. She is also Fear Free and Stress Free Pets certified, meaning she is more than happy to help your more anxious pets. 

Dr Maria graduated as a Veterinarian from the Catholic University of Cordoba, Argentina in 2008 where she worked in small animal general practice. Maria moved to Australia in 2016 and after living in many places, has settled in the Canberra region. Maria joined Queanbeyan Vet Hospital in 2024 and has a particular interest in animal behaviour where she is completing further studies. She is passionate about helping pets with anxiety, fear-based issues and other behavioural challenges, always aiming to strengthen the bond between pets and their people. Outside of work, Maria enjoys relaxing with a good book or diving into jigsaw puzzles, always accompanied by her two beloved cats, June and Nick.
