Meet the Team

Veterinarian (BVSc)

Christie Nel

Christie graduated Veterinary Science from the University of Pretoria (Onderstepoort) in 2019. After completing his Compulsory Community Service year, he then worked a further 18 months in South Africa before joining the GWVS team. During this time, he worked privately with the “regular” kind of animals, as well as the occasional lion and leopard! In his free time, he enjoys fishing, spearfishing, and exploring our beautiful Whitsunday region.

Emergency Assistance

Our Vets and nurses are available for afterhours emergencies for our clients 7 days a week. If you believe your animal is having an emergency, please contact us on 07 4786 1010 and follow the prompts. Here you will reach a member of our nursing team to help triage the situation.

Remember Greater Whitsunday Vet Services is a small team and not only do our vets and nurses work during the day but then go on call when they are at home at night. Please be courteous and only call if there is a genuine emergency. We understand it is a stressful time but please be courteous to staff as no aggression, violence or abuse is tolerated at our clinic.
