Our Malibu Veterinarians
Dedication. Expertise. Compassion.
Malibu Veterinary Hospital has always been a hotbed for veterinarians seeking accelerated professional advancement. Our veterinarians have over the years completed masters degrees in small animal medicine and surgery, requirements for admission to the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS), launched careers in North America and Europe and successfully undertaken residency training programs. Two of our former vets have even completed post-graduate human medical degrees and are now working as human doctors in Australia! Our vets have been known to go travelling and come back to us.

Veterinary Surgeon
Dr Belinda Beynon
BVMS (Murdoch) BSc(Vet)
Dr. Beynon has had a very long relationship with Malibu Vet Hospital, having worked here as a full-time vet for several years in the 1990's. Her subsequent career path as the Director of Continuing Education at Murdoch University Vet School, and more than 10 years at Murdoch Pet Emergency Centre (MPEC), has always allowed her the time to come back and spend time with the Malibu Vet team, their clients and pets on a periodic basis. Over the years, she has also owned her own vet business and worked in other vet clinics in Perth and Singapore, but she will still help out to cover and assist our practice on a locum basis. We will always consider Belinda as a valuable member of our Malibu Vet family.

Exciting and fulfilling veterinary careers
Malibu Vet Hospital has always been a hotbed for budding veterinarians, many who have gone on to undertake post-graduate residency programs and pass further board exams to become veterinary specialists. Others have left and come back to work for us again. And of course we have our regular vets who have stayed with us for years (and decades).
