Lead Veterinarian

Dr Hayato Nishimura

BVSc

Originally from Sydney, Dr Hayato earned his Bachelor of Veterinary Science from James Cook University in Townsville in 2013. Since graduating, his veterinary career has taken him across Queensland, working in a wide range of settings—from a country mixed practice and specialist equine hospital to a busy companion animal clinic and an animal shelter. These diverse experiences have helped shape Hayato into the well-rounded and compassionate vet he is today.

Hayato has a particular passion for complex small animal surgery and ultrasonography. Committed to delivering the highest standard of care, he continues to pursue further education and training to better serve his patients and community.

When he’s not at the clinic, Hayato is kept busy by his own menagerie of animals: Raz the horse, Paddy and Shirley the cows, Lefty the goat, Pickle the bird, Mia the dog, and cats Nemo and Audrey. In his downtime, he enjoys cooking, riding motorcycles, and exploring the natural beauty of Australia.
