09.01.2022 Meet our team: Dr Clare Condos! My journey to become a veterinarian has been a long and interesting one. I rode horses professionally before travelling the world and living in London for two years. I then worked in marketing and event management for over a decade before taking a giant leap of faith to change careers and combine my passion for animals and career strengths in communication and building client relationships. On graduating from The University of Melbourne, I st...arted out my career in mixed practice in Darwin, NT which involved small animal medicine, equine medicine and surgery, performing race track duties at the Darwin Turf Club and conducting live export inspections as an Australian Accredited Government Veterinarian. I also gained exposure to some interesting tropical diseases cases. Having now relocated to the Fraser Coast, I work across the three clinics in Childers, Howard and Maryborough. I feel humbled by the trust client place in me and I value our relationship as we work together on the best care for their pets whilst treating them with kindness, compassion and respect. My interests focus on the One Health initiative and I enjoy exploring and understanding the complexities of human-animal interactions from the development of behavioural problems in companion pets, the effects of animal therapy programs on human mental health and physical well-being to the benefits of anxiety free veterinary techniques when working with clients and patients. I am also motivated to use my skills and knowledge to work with under-privileged, developing and indigenous communities on veterinary health education programs to improve global standards in animal welfare.

01.01.2022 Meet the team: Dr Meagan Wheeless Dr. Meagan Wheeless earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from Texas A&M University; and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling both from the University of Texas, Austin. Previously she worked for 6 years as a rehabilitative counselor and psychotherapist for military veterans who were transitioning back into the civilian workforce. After years of incorporating equine therapy programs and s...ervice dogs into her work, she decided to pursue veterinary medicine. She saw the tremendous impact that animals make in people’s lives and wanted to make a difference for animals in return. Meagan is an 8th generation Texan, originally from Austin. In April 2017 she moved her family to Australia on a 457 visa to embark on a new adventure together. People thought they were crazy for bringing the whole crew but they couldn’t imagine making a home here without each of them, including: fellow native Texan husband- Chance; Golden Retriever- Cali; black Lab- Canan; Terrier-Doxie mix- Lola; Chihuahua- Lily; and Ginger Manx cat- Mason. They say everything is bigger in Texas and that certainly includes their personalities! Eventually they would love to expand their family with horses, goats, and alpacas. Meagan has a strong passion for travel and international animal welfare. She has done externships and volunteer work all over the world including the Galapagos Islands, Nicaragua, Peru, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. She hopes to continue this work domestic and abroad through outreach/community education programs and spay-neuter clinics. She has been really enjoying treating and learning more about native Australian wildlife. She loves to spend her spare time outdoors with her husband and dogs, particularly hiking, paddling, and swimming in the lakes, rivers, and the ocean. She also loves photography and creating works of art out of refurbished material.
