Veterinary Surgeon
Like Ian Healy and Billie Brown, Geoff is a boy from Biloela. At 17 he left home to go to the University of Queensland to study to become a vet. Graduating in December 1976, Geoff has worked as a veterinarian for most of that time. His main expertise, apart from extensive experience in most aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery for a variety of animal species, is his capacity for honest, open communication with his clients. Dr Geoff Teakle has stepped back from professional duties now and has handed over the professional reins to a new cohort of experienced veterinarians to carry out his legacy of high quality service to his valued clients and pets. Dr Teakle still retains ownership of the clinic and will ensure the continuation of high quality service hereon.

Trainee veterinary nurse
Chloe is our trainee veterinary nurse who joined our team in early 2023. Chloe began her introduction to nursing assisting in a busy emergency hospital and has completed her Certificate III in Animal Studies, progressing towards her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. Her favourite part about her job is cuddling all the cats and dogs and in her spare time she enjoys reading, spending time with her family and snuggling up with her Tortishell cat “Luka”.
Practice Manager/Veterinary Nurse
Rhiannon has been with us for close to 10 years and wears several hats across the clinic. She gained her nursing experience working at a number of small animal practices in Brisbane and completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2012. She is also a qualified groomer, but most of all loves seeing our hospital patients bounce back to their happy selves and go home to their families. On the weekends, you will most likely find her at the playground with her daughter, or walking her fur kids “Percy” a Greyhound and “Sally” a Staffy.
Veterinary Nurse
Lily began working with animals as a trainee vet nurse in 2016 at a mixed practice in the Sunshine Coast. After finishing high-school and moving to Brisbane, she began studying human nursing but realised animals were her passion.

When she isn’t working you can find her seeing live music, reading, roller skating or seeing friends.
