Dr Narelle Hooper is a female Veterinarian.

The daughter of a cattle veterinarian, Nev (Narelle) has early memories of “helping” with cow caesarians. This fuelled a perpetual curiosity for “wanting to know what’s happening on the inside” so she embarked upon her own career as a veterinarian, graduating from the University of Queensland in 1997 with a University Medal.

Nev spent a number of years working in mixed practice both in Australia and the UK before returning to Australia to focus on small animal practice. At the end of 2014 she joined the North Geelong Veterinary Clinic as a practice partner along with Chloe and Bryan.

Nev obtained Membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists by examination in Small Animal Surgery in 2005 and completed a further years study in small animal ultrasonography in 2014.

In recent years Nev has also completed short courses in ophthalmology, echocardiography, backyard chickens and obtained her CT license. Nev is happiest in the surgery operating or with the ultrasound probe in her hand but mostly she enjoys the varied nature of our profession and loves getting to the bottom of problems.
