Janet is a local Wangaratta girl and began working at Warby Street in 2001. She hasn’t looked back since! She has completed a Certificate 4 in vet nursing and particularly enjoys the special wildlife cases that we receive at the hospital. Janet is a quiet and very efficient member of the Warby Street team. Outside work, Janet is devoted to her 3 daughters and her new grandchildren.

Crystelle is another member of the sensational nursing team at Warby Street and has been with us since 2004. Crystelle has completed her Certificate 4 in vet nursing and particularly enjoys neonatal care, caesareans and caring for intensive care patients. When not looking after sick and injured animals, Crystelle loves spending time with her family and friends, including her pets. She also enjoys time outdoors such as camping and bushwalking, but being inside watching movies is pretty good too!

Loris has a special interest in wildlife. She began nursing at Warby Street Vet Hospital back in 1992 and is one of the longest standing members of the team. Loris did leave us briefly for a seachange down at Philip Island, but decided that she missed Warby Street too much and is now back here to stay. Loris’s special interests in veterinary practice include intensive care animals, surgery and wildlife, particularly native birds. In her spare time, Loris enjoys walking on the beach (at Philip Island, not in Wangaratta!), travelling, cross-country skiing, bike riding and socialising.

Amy is a valuable member of the nursing team. Her vet nursing background is with horses, having worked at the Goulburn Valley Equine Hospital in the past. She is now enjoying the challenge of working with our smaller more sharp toothed and clawed animal friends. When not at work she is kept busy by her young son Joshua. She is now twice as busy with the arrival of Nicholas, and maybe even three times as busy considering all her efforts at the Wangaratta Equine Hospital as well.

"I am very lucky to be working amongst such amazing professionals which are not only great work colleagues but are also part of a fantastic extended family. My favourite shift is our Surgery shift, it can be extremely busy but is always rewarding and its a beautiful thing to send animals home well. At home l enjoy gardening, hanging out with my fur babies, family and friends and horse riding."
