About
Welcome to Central Veterinary Clinic & Hospital, Tarneit, your ‘vet near me’. We are the first independently owned veterinary clinic in Tarneit. We are a fully functioning, highly equipped, state-of-the-art clinic, offering dedicated GP services as well as emergency after-hours consultations weeknights and weekends. Our vets are highly skilled and experienced in both medicine and surgery. Our mission is to provide excellent, empathetic, compassionate veterinary care. We aim for a thorough work-up and treatment, to exceptionally high standards. We treat both small and large animals. We also conduct peaceful home euthanasia. Our subsidiary, Tarneit Mobile Vet, has operated a home visit service for the past 2 years. We understand that pets are part of the family. We are in the business of helping you help your fur babies live their happiest, healthiest lives.

Location
Central Veterinary Clinic & Hospital is located at 4 Poplar Boulevard, in Tarneit. This is on Derrimut Road, just down from Tarneit train station and opposite Baden Powell Reserve.
Hours
Central Veterinary Clinic & Hospital is open 7 days a week. Standard GP consults weekdays 9 am until 6 pm. To serve a gap in emergency afterhours care, after 6 pm weekdays and on weekends we convert to an emergency clinic. This means we don’t preschedule appointments, so we have time to attend to patients who need emergency medical care when other vet clinics are closed.
Monday – Friday | 8:00 am – 8:00 pm |
Saturday & Sunday | 11:00 am – 10:00 pm |
