About us
Our team
Meet the people who'll look after you and your pet.
Principal veterinarian
Dr Zachary Lederhose
Dr Zach loves being a vet. He started his career in the Snowy Mountains, working in Cooma and Jindabyne, before moving to Goulburn in 2018. He's passionate about helping owners have the best relationship with their pet, and that starts with good dental health, preventative medicine, and plenty of enrichment and exercise.
When your pet gets sick, you're in good hands. Ongoing training is Dr Zach's top priority: keeping up to date through conferences and courses means your pet gets the most up-to-date care. In 2024 he was admitted as a Member of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Practice.
In his spare time he volunteers for veterinary organisations, advocating for the profession where he can. He has served as President of the NSW Division of the AVA, representing the profession to stakeholders and parliament.
Louis the weimaraner and Archie the springer spaniel cross keep Dr Zach and his wife Jade busy. Total goofballs, they both love to run, and you're sure to bump into them at one of Goulburn's dog parks or at the markets in town.

Danielle Cranston
When you visit Goulburn Vet Clinic, the first thing you'll see is Danielle's smiling face.
Danielle started with us as a trainee vet nurse in 2009 and completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2010. Her favourite part of the job is the variety of roles, so no two days are the same, and she loves being part of the special bond between people and their pets.
In her downtime Danielle enjoys water sports, hockey, a good book, and time with family and friends. With Quill the cat, toddlers Remi and Oakley, and her husband Rhys, she's busier than ever.

Registered veterinary nurse
Bec Daly
Bec is our resident cat whisperer. With her calm presence and buckets of love for every patient, even the most nervous cat relaxes in hospital with Bec looking after them.
A lover of musical theatre, Bec has been in several local productions in the Highlands, where she lived and worked before we convinced her to move to Goulburn. Her ability to hold a tune keeps Dr Zach's renditions of Hamilton from starting a full-blown revolt.
A perfect day for Bec is a tie between the beach with her dogs and curling up by the heater with her husband Shane, her son Elliot, and their furry family: Bear, Bandit and Apollo.

ISFM Cat Friendly Veterinary Professional
Registered veterinary nurse
Hannah Palmer
Hannah joined the team in 2022 and has been giving our small patients big love ever since. She completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2024 and takes on every challenge with enthusiasm.
Han enjoys every part of nursing, but surgical cases are her passion: assisting in theatre and giving the best possible post-operative care, so patients have a smooth, comfortable recovery.
Outside the clinic she loves the outdoors, tennis and a good book, and her two energetic dogs keep her on her toes. Known for her positive energy, Hannah is great at comforting nervous owners and brings laughs to every workday.

Receptionist
Michelle Houliston
Michelle made a tree change to Goulburn to escape the Sydney rat race and spend more time with her extended family, furbabies included.
She's mum to five adult children, many corgis, rescue cats, chickens and a rabbit, and a dedicated grandmother who spends as much time with her grandchildren as she can.
Michelle is also a Kiwi, but we don't hold that against her, except when the rugby is on.
Our locums
Locum veterinarian
Dr Brooke White
Dr Brooke is an animal lover through and through. Raised on a farm in Cowra, she's been surrounded by animals her whole life. Combine that with a love of learning, and being a vet is a natural fit.
Brooke's career has taken her through Wagga, Canberra and Goulburn, and we're very lucky to have her on the team. She volunteers for Best Friends Pet Rescue, so there are always cute rescue pets coming through the clinic on their way to their forever homes.
Brooke and her husband have an ever-growing menagerie on their farm, so many that they need a bigger farm. Her real soft spot is Border Collies: keep an eye on our Instagram for the insta-famous Ekko and Bronte.
