PETSinTuition Veterinary Clinic

TAFE SA’s very own Veterinary Clinic, PETSinTuition provides students with the opportunity to practice their skills under Veterinarian supervision in our modern clinic located at our Gilles Plains campus. Our daily Veterinary clinic staff include a fully qualified experienced Veterinarian, a fully qualified experienced Veterinary Nurse and up to six trainee Veterinary Nurse students.

TAFE SA is the only provider delivering the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing qualification in South Australia, and also has an on-campus Veterinary Clinic. It includes a fully functioning veterinary clinic with surgery, dental and radiology suite, a pathology demonstration theatre with CCTV monitors, facilities for animal holding, grooming and plenty of room to move. We are registered and open to the public for consultations and surgeries.

PETSinTuition is an environment where students are supported and encouraged with growing their knowledge, skills and confidence to go out into the industry. Know your animals will be given the highest level of care in a professional and safe environment.

At PETSinTuition we are passionate about pets and people.
