About Tropical Veterinary Serviecs

Our practice began in Innisfail in the early 1970’s. In the late 1980’s we began regular trips to Tully. Over time we have grown and expanded both in the number of vets, premises and services that we provide. In the early 1990’s we started a full time clinic in Tully. Since then we have expanded into providing services in Babinda, Cardwell and Mission Beach at regular intervals. Our practice consists of seven veterinarians, Dr Tom Gough, Dr Julia Conole, Dr Graham Lauridsen, Dr Don Strazzeri, Dr Tina Kleinhans, Dr Joanne Bell and Dr Tim Biffin. Whilst each vet has his/her own special interests, we all enjoy the challenge of providing veterinary attention to the range of species we are presented with.

Most recently we have expanded into the Ingham area by purchasing Dr Paul Rowlands’ Vet Surgery. Paul has been working in Ingham for many years and it is exciting for us to be expanding into this area. Paul will not be disappearing from Ingham altogether and will continue to work with us from time to time.

We offer a 24 hours Emergency Service from our 3 main surgeries; Innisfail, Tully and Ingham.

Our aim is to ‘Provide caring and competent veterinary services to all creatures, great and small.’
