"New Zealand faces a significant shortage of veterinarians in rural areas. We Share this challenge with most developing countries and several other professions"
- Vetscript December 2008.

"New Zealand needs at least 100 more vets and Massey University says it will take five years to make up the shortfall."
- JILL GALLOWAY - Manawatu Standard | Tuesday, 26 February 2008.

At Clutha Vets we are aware of the shortage of rural vets and are trying to correct the shortfall.

It is our aim to actively seek out new veterinary staff – experienced and new graduates.

We use several methods to attract overseas vets and we have bursaries in place to encourage NZ graduates to work in the South.
