The current clinic and large animal hospital in Malanda was established in 1982 and has gone through several major renovations.
In 2008, a registered equine hospital and surgery and a large undercover cattle facility were completed.
The clinic in Malanda is a state of the art veterinary facility. It can service the needs of all its other practices and clients as well as providing a world class teaching facility for final year veterinary students from James Cook University.
The equine hospital is fully equipped for reproduction services, surgery, radiographs and much more to ensure the top health of equine patients. Similarly, the small animal hospital is home to an experienced team who can ensure the best care for your furry friend.
A large team of veterinarians work from the Malanda clinic and service large areas of North Queensland for small animal, equine and bovine clients. A large part of the Malanda clinics clientele is made up of local dairy farmers.
The Tableland Veterinary Service administrative centre and almost all of the clinic directors are based at the Malanda clinic.
Bush & Gulf Clinic
Tableland Veterinary Service runs several bush clinics each year that travel into the gulf to towns such as Mt Surprise, Einasleigh, Georgetown, and Normanton. These clinics run over 3-5 days and include all routine minor surgical procedures, small animal vaccinations through to equine dentistry or pregnancy diagnosis and other equine procedures and cattle work. We have been undertaking regular runs to the Gulf country for more than 30 years.

Jamie was raised on the family’s large cattle station near Springsure, Central Queensland where her love of animals and the bush life first started. After completing high school at Emerald State High, she left home and moved to Townsville to complete her Veterinary degree in 2018. After graduating, she packed her bags again and set off to the Tablelands to join our Malanda Clinic. In her spare time, you might find Jamie walking her faithful old Labrador ‘Honey’ around the beautiful Tableland countryside, dropping over the range to explore Cairns or travelling home to help on the station whenever possible.
