Mary joined the St Bernards Rd team in March 2021 and prior to this was at RivaPetz Pet Care, in the Riverland, for 7 years. Her pathway leading to working in the veterinary industry was not a typical one.

Growing up, Mary was the one in the family with dogs, cats, birds, ducks, mice, rats and even a goat. Mary has been a long-time RSPCA volunteer and has been involved in organizing badge days and The Million Paws Walk in the Riverland.
Once Mary began part-time work at RivaPetz, she became hooked! Over several years the passion grew and eventually a new career forged its way through. Mary worked remotely for St Bernards Rd Vet Clinic as well as spending 3 days a fortnight in clinic whilst still living in the Riverland.

At the end of 2022 and after over 30 years in the Riverland, Mary and her husband moved back to Adelaide to be closer to family. Mary loves her regular babysitting day in which she gets to spend time with their gorgeous little granddaughter.
Now that she is living in Adelaide, Mary is enjoying being in the clinic much of the time and getting to know our fabulous patients and their families. Being a Veterinary Receptionist is a role Mary has a passion for and has recently joined the AVRA (Australian Veterinary Receptionist Association) founding Council as treasurer. She is excited by the opportunity to be surrounded by an amazing ‘Brains Trust’ and to make a difference to receptionists in Australia and New Zealand.

Music still plays a special part in Mary’s life. She plays flute in the Onkaparinga City Concert Band alongside her trumpeting husband. Mary is also a ‘fill-in’ accompanist for Sing Australia Glenelg.

Mary’s home is shared with her cat Koda, offsider Mia and her hyperactive dog Baylee.

Imavi thoroughly enjoys being in consult and working hands on with her patients whilst trying to make any veterinary visit enjoyable for both the client and their beloved pets.

She has two well loved and extremely spoiled cats at home, Lilly and Daisy. Both with polar opposite personalities that keep her entertained at home.

Tahlia joined the St Bernard's Road Veterinary Clinic Nursing team in August 2021.

Her love for animals developed from a very young age. Spending her childhood surrounded by animals helped to grow her passion and desire to work with them. Her career with animals started in high school, spending three years working on a farm with a wide variety of farm animals and pets. This led her to complete her certificate II in Animal Studies at TAFE SA in 2021.
Outside of the clinic Tahlia spends most of her time entertaining her crazy Kelpie X, Finn. She goes on daily walks, does regular training sessions with Finn and loves the odd nap. 
She spends her weekends in the outdoors, traveling, camping and hiking with her friends.

Sumo joined the St Bernard's Road Veterinary Clinic Cat team in April 2021.

She has moved down from Berri - this gives you some insight into her past history as a Clinic Cat at RivaPetz Pet Care.

Sumo' was first brought into the clinic as a stray, needing a caring and loving home. Most unwanted cats and kittens are put up for adoption but this one seemed different.

When "Sumo" was first let out of her cage, to have the run of the clinic, she hopped right out and set about inspecting everything and everyone. We all fell in love with her! We soon began to realise that she would make the perfect clinic cat. She settled into clinic life really well, equally dividing her daily time with each staff member. She is such a sweet and affectionate cat, but also has a devilish streak within her, she is far from being the little lady - she will roar in and out of each room sounding like a freight train.

Little did we know that she would go on to develop ringworm! Earning her the name the ‘ringworm infected thug' or ‘Ompa Lumpa'.

Her favourite pastimes are spending time at the front counter where she can meet and greet all of our clients and patients or the warm fax machine in Jenni's office but, she still manages to catch up on some sleep in-between the hectic jobs of being the clinic cat.

Sumo is enjoying her move to the city, and is looking forward to being promoted to Clinic Co-ordinator in the near future.

Freckle joined the St Bernard's Road Veterinary Clinic Cat team in April 2021.

She has moved down from Berri - this gives you some insight into her past history as a Clinic Cat at RivaPetz Pet Care.

Freckle was dumped at RIvaPetz Pet Care, and despite our best efforts to find her a loving home, she has now permanently become Sumo's offsider (or alternatively partner in crime). Her passion is jumping from great heights, and as a result has injured both of her knees, necessitating surgery on her right knee.

Her favourite past time is to sleep in the treatment room cupboards, and say "boo" to anyone who opens the door.

Her most recent trick was to test whether the RSPCA money box on the front counter bounces - unfortunately she found out the hard way that it doesn't!
