Hammond Park Vet is very proud to present – our animal-loving staff.
Dr Lindy
Head Veterinarian
I grew up in Singapore and my family moved over to Perth when I was in high school. In 2010 I graduated from Murdoch uni and went to work in Melbourne where I became addicted to the adrenaline rush of emergency medicine.
Eventually I got sick of the horrible weather and traffic so I moved back to Perth where I continued working in an emergency and GP practice and ended up getting my memberships in ECC.
Now with two young sons and two fur kids keeping me on my toes I don’t need any more thrills in my life so I’ve decided to switch pace and enjoy the GP life.

Amelia is a 2018 Murdoch Uni graduate and took her first job in a busy small animal practice in Hobart for two years. There she encountered a lot of wildlife such as wombats, wallabies and snakes. ’
