Amanda Birang

Amanda finished her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing at Vic Uni at the end of 2010. Whilst at school she attended one day a week placement at Burke Road Vet Clinic, and we were so impressed with her at the end of her placement that we asked her to join the team permanently. She has 2 maltese x shih tzus, Ralph a 4 yr old male and Charlie, a 3 yr old female. They are inseparable and both very spoilt. Amanda is yet to find one particular passion when it comes to nursing as she finds all aspects of her job enjoyable and exciting, but she does have a soft spot for puppies and surgery.

When she’s not working, Amanda loves to spend time with her friends and family and 2 dogs.
