Dr. Amritha Lala Alayil

Veterinarian
Dr Amu

Hi, I’m Dr. Amu. I graduated with BVSc & AH from Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, India, and further completed my Masters in Tropical Veterinary Medicine from James Cook University, Australia. I passed my Australasian Veterinary Examination in 2023 and am working towards my clinical examination later in 2024.

I started out as a mixed animal practitioner in Kerala, India and went on to work at an ambulatory service, taking care of mainly cows and goats. I decided to move to Australia in 2022 to complete my Masters and along the way passed the AVE examination as well. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Mark for giving me the opportunity to work with this wonderful team at GVH!

I’ve grown up with animals and it was always my dream to work with animals of all kinds. I enjoy working with wildlife and exotics and Australia has opened a different world of wildlife for me. I have two beautiful rescue babies of my own, a 6-year-old Golden Retriever and a four-year-old Husky back home in India. The hardest part is staying away from them but thanks to my profession I get to work with fur babies every day!

Apart from my passion for Vet Medicine I enjoy painting and sketching, and like trying new art forms and DIY projects. I also love to cook and enjoy spending time with friends and family during my days off.
