Dr. Yvonne Rabl

Yvonne studied Veterinary Science at the University of Melbourne and loves the daily variety and challenges of being a vet. Yvonne feels very privileged to be able to help you look after the health of your four-legged family members through all stages of their life. She particularly likes working with cats and dogs, and finds one of the best parts of her job is getting to know clients and their pets over many years. Since graduating she has worked in small animal practices in both Adelaide and Melbourne, including for several years at our associated clinic Endeavour Hills Vets.

Outside work Yvonne keeps busy with her husband, 4 children, two moggie cats and cavoodle dog.

Melinda Carlile

Melinda has been a Vet Nurse for more than 20 years, and a casual employee at the clinic since 2008. Have always lived locally, and began a career with animals at the RSPCA in Pearcedale at 17.

Alysha Williams

Alysha is a qualified Vet Nurse and has been with Vets in Cranbourne since 2017. Alysha is passionate about caring for your pets and enjoys all aspects of nursing; but she especially enjoys the practical side of nursing such as surgeries, diagnostics and just generally loves being a part of the care plan for your pets.

Outside of nursing Alysha keeps herself busy with her family which includes 3 children (including twins), her “giant” cat Pumpkin, a Bearded Dragon named Bruni and British Bulldog, Marshy. She also fosters kittens from time to time, so her house is at the very least often chaotic (but she wouldn’t change it for the world).

Mealea Khoeun

Mealea has loved animals from a young age and had many pets growing up, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and a rabbit.

Although her previous studies sent her down a path away from animals, she was reinspired to work in animal healthcare while her dog Honey battled cancer in 2018.

Mealea recently joined Vets In Cranbourne and has loved being able to meet and care for a range of pets and enjoys how every day is different. She is currently in the process of completing her certificate in Veterinary Nursing.

Though she doesn’t currently have any pets of her own, Mealea looks forward to caring for her patients as if they were her own, and hopes to have many pets in the future!

Sarah Cooke
