Company Profile

Animal Emergency Australia

Company Overview

Animal Emergency Australia (AEA) is a network of independent emergency hospitals, general practices, veterinary support, and educational services across Australia. At our core, AEA exists to help veterinary professionals do and be their best. We invest in our team members' work-life balance, career progression, and personal development, empowering them to excel in the field of veterinary medicine while making a meaningful impact on the lives of animals.

Company History

At Animal Emergency Australia, we aspire to being more than great veterinary professionals. Our company was founded when a small group of veterinarians and nurses decided they could ‘do better’ than the status quo and purchased a single emergency practice in 2005. From that moment we took on the challenge of shaping the future of emergency veterinary care. Over the 18-year journey from that purchase, we have grown to become Australia’s largest employee-owned veterinary group.

Although our aspirations have grown, this commitment to continual improvement of patient outcomes remains our driver. We believe that the only way to reform veterinary business is through the constant pursuit of better outcomes for patients. These outcomes must be monitored, and our systems, processes and training adapted to support incremental improvement. We can do this as an employee-owned business, in contrast to others who must respond to external shareholders, not necessarily aligned with the same goal.
