Receptionist: Julie Kruger

We have a dedicated, experienced nurse/receptionist within our team that has actually been employed by us four times. In 1998, in our old building, Julie Kruger came to us with an administration background looking for new experiences.

Well she has certainly had that within our practice between seeing many staff changes to the way that Veterinary procedures have changed over her time within the industry.

Julie initially had 5 years with us where she became an integral part of our team. She has always been reliable and a “do-er”. On a busy, hectic day it is always good to know that Julie is on the roster to carry some of that pressure. In 2003 Julie went on maternity leave for the birth of her daughter Carly and then returned part time. Since then Julie and her husband Nathan have travelled Australia extensively and relocated for a short time as well as seeing the birth of their son Ryan. This has meant Julie has actually resigned 3 times. Now when she walks into the office with an envelope and a grin we hold our breath. It is a credit to Julie that we keep re-employing her as the confidence and appreciation we have for her ability and work ethic is outstanding. Everyone likes to request a shift with Julie.

At home Julie is busy with the family duties of Carly & Ryan. Julie now does mainly reception duties but is an allrounder who is just as capable in surgery carrying out nursing responsibilities or monitoring hospitalised and recovering animals.
