OUR PEOPLE

In her spare time Helen enjoys swimming, surf boat rowing, reading and running a ‘glamping’ business with her husband.

In her free time Alicia enjoys making the most of the coastal change and her love for the outdoors. You can find her at the beach, paddling on the lake or hiking a mountain – that’s assuming she isn’t busy with her two scruffy and snuggly (and somewhat mischievous) rescue dogs Polly and Butch.

Felicity and her husband moved to the coast right after graduation and she has been working hard as a vet developing a solid understanding of veterinary practice, individual owner and patient needs at local clinics since then. Felicity is continuing to grow her veterinary interests, especially in feline medicine, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery and dermatology, but she also enjoys the different challenges every new day brings.

When she’s not contributing her gentle and thoughtful presence to our Beach and Bay team, Felicity enjoys spending time with her cats and husband, knitting, board games and playing the flute in a concert band.

Alice has always enjoyed working with patients and their owners to create the best health care pans for their animals. She prides herself on forming good relationships with patients and their owners, working together to create their best health care plan.

Alice has special interests in orthopaedic surgery, soft tissue surgery, dermatology and internal medicine.

Alice regularly attends conferences and workshops in her areas of interests of specialty. Recently she attend the FASAVA Conference on the Gold Coast and an orthopaedic surgery workshop in Queensland.

She lives locally with her young family and loves walking her dogs on the beach, or by the bay.

Her thoughtful and caring presence at Beach and Bay is appreciated by both her patients and the rest of the team, and in her spare time Adèle enjoys our beautiful coastal lifestyle with her human and animal family members.

Her interests and expertise in small animal medicine and surgery are extensive, with special interests in complex internal medicine cases, orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery. Naomi has a strong personal interest in wildlife work and has been providing volunteer veterinary care for native wildlife for her whole career.

In her spare time Naomi is mum to two gorgeous young men and three fur babies; cats Tommy and Cersei, and a sassy Pomeranian named Bb. Naomi enjoys all that the coast has to offer when not caring for our furry friends, spending time, photographing, surfing, and scuba diving in our beautiful surroundings.

Gordon has always enjoyed making strong connections with owners and their 4-legged family members. He enjoys all aspects of veterinary practice, especially soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery.  Gordon’s love for providing care is as strong as ever, and he continues to serve the Central Coast community with his exceptional skills and compassion as he loves being a vet! 

Having worked happily with vet Alice for many years before moving away, Nicole was excited to join the growing team at Empire Bay. While working in the Barrington coast, Nicole took on a more senior role and recognised her skill and passion for practice management. She worked hard to complete further qualifications including the Certificate III in Business studies and payroll and the Diploma in Business Administration. We are excited to have her bring these skills to Beach and Bay as well as her excellent nursing knowledge and bubbly personality.

Outside of the clinic Nicole enjoys using her other qualification in permaculture to tend to her large garden, and spend time with her husband, daughter, their three dogs, two cows, guinea pigs, cat and chickens.

Jeanette is enjoying building her skills and knowledge every day, and maintaining Beach and Bay Vet’s high standards of patient and client in her time away from work Jeanette cares for her teenage children, and their active life!

She brings her extensive knowledge and skill, as well as a happy smile and calm reassurance to reception, treatment room and surgery. Ash enjoys all aspects of her role, working with people and animals and helping to educate the next generation of veterinary nursing students.

Ash has fun at home training her mischevious rescue dog Ned. Ash has always lived on the coast, and loves being with friends and family, bushwalking and enjoying the beach.

Amanda worked as a veterinary nurse locally before her excellent reputation and high skill level brought her to the team at Beach and Bay. She is now part of our talented team of registered veterinary nurses and has quickly added her sunny personality and great sense of humour to the clinic.

Outside of her clinic life, Amanda enjoys walking on the beach with her dogs and continuing to explore the beautiful Central Coast.

Bree continues to expand her veterinary nursing knowledge, excelling in the areas of surgery and anesthesia. Bree enjoys furthering her nursing knowledge and skill by completing regular ongoing further education with enthusiasm.

Bree loves living on the beautiful Central Coast with family and geriatric (‘medical miracle’) dog, ‘Timmy’!

In her spare time Sophie loves being with her many Golden Retrievers, taking them for swims and fun at our lovely local dog beaches.

As well as a family with 3 human kids, Kat has an extensive furry/feathery/scaly family including goats and a pet pig on her hobby farm.
