Lee-Anne Kingston

Lee-Anne is one of our owners and an experienced Vet Nurse, with over 18 years in the veterinary industry. A Cairns local, she began her career right here at SSVS and completed her studies through AIRC. Her path into veterinary nursing started with a simple conversation with the previous owners over a BBQ at Muddy’s – proof that sometimes the best careers begin unexpectedly.

Lee-Anne’s favourite part of her role is surgery and caring for her patients during their most vulnerable moments. She has a special interest in surgery, birds & wildlife. She has a compassionate approach to ensure every patient receives exceptional care.

Outside of work, Lee-Anne’s home is just as lively as the clinic. She shares it with her husband, two children, her mum, and a wonderful collection of pets – including birds, fish, turtles, and her beautiful rescue dog, Charlie. When she’s not at the clinic, you’ll likely find her out walking with Charlie or spending time in the garden, embracing her love of nature.

A fan of cheese and a cold glass of mineral water during a long shift, Lee-Anne adores all animals, though tigers, elephants, whales, and otters sit at the top of her favourites list. With deep local roots, decades of experience, and a genuine passion for animal care, she brings warmth, skill, and dedication to every patient she meets.
