The team at Marmion Vet Centre bring a wealth of experience to the practice and have individually obtained high standards of professional qualification.
Fiona graduated from University College of Dublin in 2013. She spent a couple of years practicing in the UK before she travelled to WA in 2015 on a working holiday visa.
After meeting the amazing team and warm clients of Marmion Vet Centre, she decided to stay.
Fiona is a big believer that Rescues are the best breed. She was a regular volunteer at Shenton Park Dog Refuge until one of the dogs, Banksy, claimed her as his forever human. Fiona’s compassion for animals extends beyond her career and she follows a vegan lifestyle.
Fiona passed her Veterinary Acupuncture exams in December 2018 and has enjoyed being able to provide a new skill to benefit her patients.
Outside her Veterinary work, Fiona loves SUP yoga, visiting Perth’s Animal Sanctuaries, and trying to convince Stu that they should adopt all the homeless animals on the internet.
Kate graduated from Murdoch University in 2003. In her first 10 years of practice she worked at the RSPCA in Melbourne, General practice and emergency in London,and General practice back again in Melbourne.
Kate moved back to Perth in 2012 with her young family, and has been at Marmion Vet Centre since early 2017 as the clinics main surgeon.
Dr Kriszty Kelly BSc BVMS(hons) CCRT has been a vet for 15 years. She is passionate about chronic pain management and rehabilitation, and is further qualified in canine rehabilitation.
She owns far too many border collies, and 3 horses, and enjoys competing in dog agility and attempting to ride her pony.
Dr Amy graduated from Murdoch University in 2023 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, after completing a Bachelor of Agriculture at the University of Melbourne. Since graduating, she’s worked in small animal practice and developed a strong passion for surgery — she’s happiest with a scalpel in hand.
In the clinic, Amy brings a consistently upbeat, positive energy and is known for her easy laughter and can-do attitude. She also manages the Marmion Vet Centre Instagram, striking a balance between educational content and an appropriate amount of puppy and kitten cuteness.
Outside of work, Amy is usually chasing the sun — camping, surfing, fishing, snorkelling, 4WDing or spending time by the ocean, often with a Single Fin in hand. She prioritises fitness, wellness, and staying active.
At home, she’s kept in line by Fury the Border Collie and Lenny the Domestic Short Hair. Fury feeds her Border Collie obsession, while Lenny supervises operations. They set the pace — she mostly keeps up.
Outside of work, she’s kept busy by her four cats — Clarence, Archie,
Harriet, and Evelyn — who make sure her veterinary skills are never off
duty.
Emma is the Head Nurse and the clinic’s primary visual processing unit, memory bank, and crisis-control system. When the vets lose equipment, paperwork, or the ability to look properly, Emma finds it instantly – often without moving. She keeps the clinic functional, the patients safe, and the vets operating under the comforting illusion that they are self-sufficient.
After hours, Emma reports home to Supreme Leader Stumpy — who does not work at the clinic, holds no qualifications, contributes absolutely nothing, and rules the household with unquestioned authority. Resistance is futile. Emma has willingly accepted her fate. ALL HAIL THE WEINER DOG!
Cassie graduated her veterinary nursing in 2014 and worked in an emergency vet hospital for 5 years before recently joining the team.
Cassie’s love for all animals, including the weird and wonderful, drew her to continue her passion working closely with cat and bird rescues.
Cassie resides with many pets (deep breath…) She is owned by 4 birds, 6 chickens, 2 cats and a pig. Yes you read correctly, a pig! Harley is the cutest pig we have ever met, although we may be a little biased.
Tallulah has been vet nursing for nearly a decade, so she’s seen, cleaned, and talked about just about everything. Famous for chatting with clients like it’s a competitive sport, she politely asks that if she looks busy, please don’t distract her — she will start a conversation and lose an hour (for both of you).
She lives with her rescue dog Bambi and two rat-gremlins, Yoinky and Sploinky, who specialise in chaos and extreme cuteness. Outside the clinic, you’ll find her dancing, at the gym, or doing random ocean dips. If you spot someone in scrubs dripping seawater along West Coast Hwy, that’s her — feel free to wave or say hi. If not, she’s probably at the beach, beer in hand, considering another animal she “definitely doesn’t have room for.”
Katelyn graduated as a Veterinary Nurse in December 2024 and brings warmth, curiosity, and a strong work ethic into the clinic every day. She loves being hands-on and is always keen to build her confidence and skills, especially when it comes to delivering calm, thoughtful care. With a soft spot for golden retrievers and a genuine interest in reptiles, Katelyn enjoys working with patients of all shapes and scales.
Outside the clinic, she switches off by spending time at the beach, heading away camping with friends, or getting creative in the kitchen with a bit of baking.
Stu moved from Vancouver, Canada to WA in 2016. He is an advocate for rescue animals, and believes strongly in adopting animals in need of a loving home, rather than shopping for pets.
Stu sometimes helps with reception work and home visits. He also steps in when we are super busy or when one of our regular front of house team members needs a well-earned break. Stu also does the less fun behind the scenes work, like speaking with our phone network suppliers, paying the bills and organizing building maintenance.
When Dr Fiona comes home, Stu makes sure there’s supper on the table. Stu is not foolish.
