North Hill Veterinary Clinic is part of the expanding Apiam Animal Health group of regional and rural clinics that are committed to enriching the lives of animals, people, and communities. 

As part of Apiam we offer considerable opportunities for training, personal development and career progression.

Our clinic has been serving the Armidale and New England region since 2004 and we pride ourselves on providing a high standard of professional treatment and care for both the patient and owner in a personal and relaxed environment.

North Hill Veterinary Clinic is in Armidale, the heart of the beautiful New England Tablelands region of NSW. Armidale is a large regional city located halfway between Brisbane and Sydney and has its own airport 10 minutes from the centre. It is a lovely region with a strong cultural and heritage identity, local produce and wine regions and impressive national parks so there is something for everyone. On your days off, there will be time to play sport, enjoy cultural activities, sample the local cuisine and wineries, explore some spectacular country, and build life-long connections in the community.
