Christine’s earliest animal experiences were actually not of cats and dogs but cattle and poultry. At James Ruse Agricultural H.S. She spent her days learning about all aspects of beef cattle and egg layer chicken care and even won reserve champion bull at the Castle Hill Show once with her Angus bull Poseidon!
Her interest in the human-animal bond led to her move to Adelaide for 6 years to complete the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Upon graduation in 2017 she returned to be with her furry and human family in Sydney. Christine enjoys the variety of general practice and is pursuing further studies in ultrasonography.
The last year has seen Christine in Kiama, the Blue Mountains, Adelaide and the Sunshine Coast. She has a 14-year-old Maltese, Romeo who much like his owner enjoys afternoon naps, road trips and quiet time with loved ones.

Katharine has a passion for educating the public about animal care and about being the best pet owner they can be.

Alison has been part of the team here at Parramatta Vet since May 2018, she has a Cert II in animal studies and is currently studying Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing through TAFE. She has a keen interest in all aspects of animal care and behaviour and would one day love to specialize in more exotic animals.
Alison has two cats, Leela and Snowball, both rescues, Leela, having only one eye, likes to think she rules the roost, but Snowball is always happy to let her know who’s really in charge!
Alison also has two Galah’s. Dobby, she has had for 6 years, and formed a lifelong bond after nursing him back to health after he crashed into a window. Bugsy, is the newest edition to the clan, after being brought into the clinic incredibly malnourished and having plucked out most of her feathers from stress, Alison’s love and care has seen this timid little bird transform into the most outgoing, lovable companion, and even begin to grow her feathers back!
She is Mum to 2 young adult daughters (who keep her very busy) and also has 3 cats Queeny, who was found in the gutter as a kitten 18 years ago, Kamali, who was a “failed foster” from her work placement clinic 3 years ago and her prince, Murray, who just turned up at the door a year ago and never left (another blessing from the universe).
Donna enjoys her job at the Clinic because it is a pleasure to be involved in the health, care and welfare of all of the pets that come in.
Outside of work enjoys the beach (at any opportunity), loves pottering around in the garden and caring for her impressing range of succulents and cacti.
