Our Team

Mark Sayer

Dr. Mark Sayer

Practice Owner & Veterinarian

I graduated from Sydney University in 1983, marking the start of a long and rewarding career in veterinary medicine. After gaining experience in various clinics around Sydney, I made the move to Wagga where I opened Berry Street Veterinary Hospital and Junee Vet Clinic. Over the next 18 years, alongside a dedicated team of nurses, we worked hard to serve our local communities, including making weekly visits to outlying towns to ensure animals in remote areas received the veterinary care they needed.

Compliance & Training Manager

Hi, I'm Shonell!

I graduated from my Veterinary Nursing degree in 2013, in Perth WA.

My first five years as a nurse I was employed at a 24-hr emergency clinic. Wanting to step away from a night shift setting and work more closely with clients, I was then employed as Head Nurse at a general practice hospital.

Tash Mccormack

Tash Mccormack

Veterinary Nurse

Hi I’m Tash. I grew up in a little place called Hillston which is where my love for animals began. I was always saving things growing up, the odd bird, kitten, lamb, etc., including some that didn't actually need saving but I thought I’d pretend they did anyway and bring them home.

Heidi

In Loving Memory of Heidi

Clinic Dog & Food Critic

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Heidi, our giant in-house snuggle bug, goofy companion, and fluffy storm of a dog.

Heidi was a friendly, familiar face who touched the hearts of many—clients, staff, friends, and family alike. She selflessly donated life-saving blood to several critically ill patients and was always ready for a cuddle, a pat, a scratch behind the ear, or simply to sit on your feet.

Though she will be greatly missed, Heidi will never be forgotten. Now, she runs free over the rainbow bridge, forever in our hearts. 🌈💕

Calli Girl

In Loving Memory of Calli, Our Beloved Clinic Cat

Clinic Cat & Front Office Manager (Diploma of Purrfect Cat)

It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to our dear clinic cat, Calli. Our 13-year-old Bengal, recently diagnosed with cancer, fought bravely, but as the disease spread rapidly, we knew it was time to let her go and spare her further suffering.

Gary

Gary

Clinic Cat & Hair Model

Hi there, my name is Gary (A.K.A "Gazman"). I'm the OTHER clinic cat.

I am a black-and-white long haired Moggie who was homeless until the Griffith staff decided to give me a special home at the clinic.

I love living here at the clinic, being spoiled with lots of love and yummy food. My favourite things to do are roll in the dirt, sleep on my favourite pillow and cuddle up on the staff room couch. I also like to give my friend Calli a hard time because I'm very cheeky!
