Meet our Vet Nurses

Amanda is a strong advocate for patient welfare, as well as team support and mental health. She has an extremely hard work ethic, and is one of the first on our team to put their hand up should emergency out-of-hour nursing care be required.

Outside of work, Amanda has a large menagerie of her own animals. She has a particular passion for the Blue and Red Heeler breeds, with her latest addition, Charlee, having recently been brought into the fold. She is a true farm-girl and adores her horse, Tinkabelle, along with her 2 cats, Toby and Alice.

Teneale prides herself on organization and communication to provide clients and patients with the best care and experience possible. She brings immense leadership to the nursing team, setting a high quality of work ethic and nursing care.

Teneale is multi-faceted to say the least. She holds a degree in Environmental Management and is the practice’s Climate Care Champion, assuring that our environmental impact is minimized wherever possible, whilst always searching for new ways to improve sustainability.

Teneale also manages our Healthy Pet Club Program for both of our clinics. She works hard to make the program a high-value, stress-free option for clients so they know they can rely on us for their pet’s health care.

Teneale sets the bar high for balancing the rigors of a busy career and family life. Her blue Staffy, Mabel, adds an additional layer of fun and mayhem to the mix!

Robyn has the amazing ability to make all her patients feel like her own pets, and you can see it in the way they enjoy her company and trust her to take care of them, even when things might seem a little bit scary.

At home, she has a genuine menagerie that her husband and two teenage girls help her care for. If you ask Robyn she’d probably tell you that her 6 mixed breed working dogs, cat, 2 ferrets, chooks and horse are more than enough pets but her daughters will always try to convince her otherwise.

Nicola’s bright, happy and calm personality made her a very obvious choice for recruitment. She is extremely hard-working, consistently builds and maintains beautiful rapport with our clients, and provides perpetual positive team impact.

Nicola eats, sleeps and breaths care-factor!! Her nursing approach is nothing but super-committed. She brings additional ‘crazy cat lady’ skills to our practices which always advocates strongly for fear-free cat consultation and handling on-site. Naturally, this also extends off-site, and Nicola has a steadily growing family of feline companions at home. These currently include: Tom Jones – the Scottish Fold and Massey Gonzalez the Domestic Shorthair (Mixed-Breed Moggy).

Jordyn has previously worked in local Pet Stores and has a strong pragmatic understanding of local pet owner needs when it comes to caring for their fur-kids. She is the proud owner of Ollie, a cheeky French Bulldog, and is a big promoter of breed-specific care and intervention measures that allow these flat-faced dogs to live their happiest lives.

Emma is a very passionate person who loves to learn about anything and everything to do with the veterinary industry. She is always striving to provide gold standard attention to our clients and is a huge advocate for patient care. Emma’s warm and empathetic presence has allowed her to build a strong rapport with our clients as they feel supported and heard by her. She is also a volunteer on the WA State Committee for the Veterinary Nurses Council of Australia (VNCA)

Emma loves the social media space, and does a great job posting fun interest-pieces and amazing pet-care stories to our on-line platforms. She also organizes our monthly Bravery Awards for our courageous patients and coordinates work experience opportunities for students.

Emma is a self-proclaimed ‘crazy cat lady, and adores her three babies – Goose, Maverick and Princess (taken on as 3 kittens from the same litter!). Emma and her husband have also taken-in her parents’ 15 year-old kelpie, Rusty, to provide more intensive care for her beloved childhood pet as she moves through the next stages of life.

Natasha subsequently married Matthew and had a break from Veterinary Nursing, whilst building a family, moving back to Victoria and buying / running a Pizza shop.

In 2022, a Westerly change was afoot and Natasha moved with Matthew and 5 beautiful kids, to Bunbury. Here she joined our Vet teams at the Bunbury and Eaton Vet Clinics, allowing her to further expand her knowledge in all aspects of animal care.

Natasha brings positive nurture and vitality to everything she does in the practices. This is a natural extension of the care and enthusiasm she pours into her young family and her two Chihuahuas, Gucci and Louis, along with her adorable German Shepherd Puppy, Axel.

Off the back of this steep learning curve, with a solid mix of self-paced theory study, along with on-site practical learning, in July 2025 Sasha successfully registered as a Veterinary Nurse and we have welcomed her into our esteemed nursing team.

Sasha is a good ‘all-rounder’ for our practices. She is willing to try everything and is always keen to learn something extra. She has proved herself to be capable as both a theatre and ward nurse, along with front of house customer care and reception.

Outside of work, Sasha dotes on her fur-babies – Archer the dog, and Dinky the cat.

Naomi’s passion is patient hospital-care and she strives on making sure all the patients admitted to our wards are made to feel like they are her own, with the love and care she provides.

When looking for a property down south Naomi made the decision based on her pets’ needs. Naomi is the proud owner of a mixed breed dog named Max, a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Arthur, and 3 horses named Dangles, Diesel and Cash. With the size of her dogs you could pretty much say she owns 5 horses, justifying the paddocks of space needed for them all.

Ophelia worked at a nearby clinic for many years, giving her the opportunity to develop her experience and knowledge, taking on extra training in her favourite area of vet nursing – anaesthesia and surgery assistance.

Additionally, Ophelia has a passion for mentoring and teaching, leading her to be currently studying her certification to be a Tafe teacher, hoping that one day she will be able to assist young aspiring nurses to reach their career goals.

In her spare time you may find Ophelia practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, riding her motorbike or spending time with her 2 young children and her German Shepherd, Sienna, on her 5 acre property in Gelorup.

Whilst her grooming venture is run as a completely ‘at arm’s length’ small business, owned by Rachael and her husband, Matt, Bunbury and Eaton Vet Clinics have had the good fortune of an enduring professional relationship with Rachael and her grooming service, which visits each practice on alternating Fridays to provide quality pet grooming to our clientele’s fur-babies.

Rachael has several pets of her own, for which she entrusts our practices with their Veterinary care. Rachael has the added feather in her cap, as a Registered Vet Nurse, allowing her to identify a range of different health concerns / conditions during the grooming process, which she is then able to on-refer to primary Vet care services to further improve the welfare of her client’s pets.
