Hi, I’m Dr Bronte BVSc CPEV

I am an experienced veterinarian with specialised training in end-of-life care, committed to providing compassionate in-home euthanasia for families across the Sunshine Coast and Gympie region.

Growing up in Pomona I always knew I wanted to be a vet. I naturally connected with animals and wanted to help them, and the people who love them. I graduated from James Cook University and began my career in rural general practice, later working as a locum and as an emergency veterinarian. Eventually, I found my way back home to the Sunshine Coast, and into the area of veterinary medicine that has always felt most meaningful to me.

In this time of transition, I walked closely beside my own personal loss - losing members of my family, both of my dogs, my pet cow, and relationships that had shaped who I thought I was. It was a time where death felt constant and intimate.

Living through that depth of change reshaped me. It softened my fear of death and deepened my respect for the place it holds in our lives. It also shifted my perspective from loss alone to gratitude for the love that continues beyond physical presence. I came to understand that grief exists because love is real, and that death, while painful, reveals the infinite depth of what still endures.

This is one of the reasons I love the work that I do. Being present in this space is a privilege, and I am so grateful that I can be of service in this way.

It would be an honour to care for your pet when the time comes, and to support you and your family through the experience in a way that feels calm, respectful, and true to you.

Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me dancing with friends, attempting to surf, or heading off on a multi-day hiking adventure.

Badger and Scout: two beautiful souls whose love shaped my heart. I carry them with me always. The love that they are continues beyond their physical presence, living on through the service I am able to offer because of them.
