Meet Genevieve

Originally from South Africa, Genevieve has pursued a passion for animal care and rehabilitation in a career journey that has spanned multiple disciplines. Genevieve started out with a Bachelor’s in Physiotherapy from the University of Queensland.

She then entered military service as a physiotherapist before later obtaining a Veterinary Science Degree from Gatton (QLD) becoming one of a select few worldwide with dual qualifications in Physiotherapy and Veterinary Medicine. With more than 12 years of experience as a Mixed Practice Veterinarian, Genevieve attained her Certification in Canine Rehabilitation in 2018.

When not at the clinic she enjoys time with her daughter Zoe and her fur babies Bailey, Rosie and Sophie.

Meet Alison

My journey into canine hydrotherapy combines my human healthcare background with my lifelong love of animals. When my Labrador Dougal needed physiotherapy, SASH also recommended hydrotherapy for him. I discovered there were no local services available for hydrotherapy. This led me to research the field extensively and was also how I connected with Genevieve, who became Dougal’s rehab therapist. What started as a quest to help my own dog soon evolved into a calling I couldn’t ignore.

Witnessing Dougal’s remarkable improvement through rehab was truly inspiring. It felt natural to merge my healthcare experience with my love of animal care, allowing me to help other pets and families experience the same transformative benefits that made such a difference in our lives.

Meet Monique

I’ve always had a deep love for animals, having grown up with them all my life. From a young age, I knew I wanted to work with them and help make a difference in their lives. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of the amazing team at Central West Rehab Vet, where I work as a receptionist and help manage our social media.

I’ve completed my Certificate II in Animal Care through TAFE and am currently studying Canine Remedial Massage, which I’m absolutely loving! My goal is to one day contribute more directly to the rehabilitation process.

Coming into work each day is so rewarding — I love seeing our patients and watching the incredible progress they make. It’s truly inspiring to be part of a team so dedicated to improving the wellbeing of our much-loved furry friends

The Central West Rehab Vet Philosophy

Through the practice, Genevieve is dedicated to offering holistic care for pets’ musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. She established Central West Rehab Vet as she could see the need for complimentary services to support traditional veterinary care in maintaining quality of life for pets especially in relation to ongoing treatment for disorders, injury/surgery recovery and preventative care.

The philosophy at Central West Rehab Vet is to be able to offer alternative treatments to clients and patients who would otherwise have no other option for the management of their pain/condition. Genevieve believes every patient deserves access to these therapies with significant improvements seen in…

Extending lifespan.

Allowing them to age gracefully and comfortably.

Returning them back to full function.

Allowing them to participate safely in high level sport and work.

Allowing patients, whose only other alternative was euthanasia, to achieve a new 'normal' function extending their lifespan with their human family.

Qualifications

Genevieve is one of only a handful of people worldwide that hold dual qualifications in the field of Physiotherapy and Veterinary Medicine.
