Our Story
For more than 25 years, Dermatology for Animals (DFA) has been a trusted referral centre for advanced veterinary dermatology across Queensland. Established in 1998, DFA has built a reputation for clinical excellence, thoughtful case management, and strong collaboration within the referral community.
Located within a leading multi-disciplinary referral hospital in the heart of Brisbane, you’ll have access to exceptional diagnostic and treatment capabilities, including Aesculight CO₂ and diode lasers, advanced video otoscopy with Auri-Kleen irrigation and aspiration, 64-slice CT, and 1.5T MRI. Our close working relationships with anaesthesia, surgery, oncology, internal medicine, and ophthalmology allow for seamless, high-level patient care and complex case collaboration.

From peer recognition and shared wins to regular team connection, we believe outstanding medicine is best delivered by teams who feel engaged, supported, and proud of the work they do.

Who We’re Looking For

Why We Love Brisbane
Imagine finishing a rewarding day at work and stepping straight into Brisbane’s laid-back charm. Whether it’s catching a golden sunset along the river, unwinding with friends at a rooftop bar, or enjoying a balmy evening stroll through the leafy suburbs, life here flows at an easy pace that makes switching off simple. On the weekends, your mornings might begin with coffee by the river before hopping on a ferry to South Bank for a swim at the city’s own beach, or perhaps a wander through the Queensland Museum.
Brisbane is a short drive from the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast, where you’ll find world-class beaches, coastal hikes, rainforest trails and seafood lunches with sweeping ocean views.Families will also find Brisbane an easy place to call home, with excellent schools, world-class universities, and a strong sense of community. Whether you’re into football (soccer), rugby, cricket, or weekend yoga in the park, there’s no shortage of ways to build your new community.
As the sun sets, Brisbane comes alive with a vibrant food scene and with more than 280 days of sunshine each year, it truly offers the best of both worlds: city convenience, outdoor adventure, and family-friendly fun.
