Dr Jane, better known as 'Aunty Jane', is the founder of Hills District Veterinary Hospital. She has a strong interest in orthopaedic surgery, sports rehabilitation, physiotherapy and chiropractic services. In her free time she is heavily involved in dressage and also loves to ski when on holidays. She lives with her husband, her two sons who come and go,  her horse (Lorenzo), and an assortment of chickens.  

Dr Cassie has been with us for almost a decade, after working at a practice in the Upper Hunter. She enjoys consulting and has completed post-graduate study in Anaesthesia and Feline Medicine through the University of Sydney. She is also certified as a Low Stress Handler™. In her spare time she enjoys pampering her ragdoll Luna, scuba diving and serving with Marine Rescue NSW.  

Dr Heiley joined us in June 2025 and has a special interest in both soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her husband, baby daughter, 2 rescue cats (Archie + Goma) and her very fancy reef tank! Dr Heiley is also available for consults in Chinese if preferred.

​Olivia is a qualified Cert IV Veterinary Nurse who has worked in specialist hospitals. She has a cat called Danni who is a sassy-pants and loves bringing in leaves and bugs as gestures of her love. Olivia is a very friendly and compassionate person who will always greet you with a smile and makes sure your pet gets lots of love and attention whilst staying with us.

Hayley has her Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing and loves all animals; but her favourite would have to be dogs. She has a goofy Groodle called Benson who is a regular at the local dog park and often runs into patients. Hayley loves to help others around her and is always willing to learn and pick up new skills to expand her knowledge about animal care.

Hannah works part-time at our hospital as an animal attendant. She has no pets at home (yet!) but enjoys feeding cockatoos and other wild birds on her balcony. In her spare time she enjoys studying wildlife, horse-riding, drawing, taekwondo and wildlife photography. A fun fact about Hannah is that she is a published children's book author.  She is also a huge Disney fan!

​Found behind the shops in Oakville at the end of 2014, Dorothy/Dotty came to us at just a few weeks old. ​She was underweight, covered in fleas, riddled with worms and full of cat influenza. The rest is history as she immediately made herself at home, and has since climbed the ranks to become the unofficial boss and overseer of the day-to-day upstairs clinic activities -  especially those involving food or head rubs.

Another stray  that found himself in our care, Patrick - previously 'Francis' and now just 'Patty' most days - did initially find a temporary home at Dr Jane's house but has since made himself back to the clinic because he couldn't get enough of us. What Patrick lacks in brains, he makes up for in heart (girth). You will often see him hanging around downstairs when he isn't supposed to, causing clients concern that he is an escaped patient.
