Staff at Forrestdale Veterinary Hospital
We have a core group of staff members who live up to our motto of Care, Compassion and Excellence in everything they do.
Dr Chelsea Melvin
Chelsea graduated from Murdoch University and has worked in Small Animal Practice around Perth. Growing up on a farm in the Wheatbelt has meant from a young age Chelsea has loved all animals but has a special spot for Kelpies. Her particular interests lie in medicine as she enjoys the challenge of working up cases. In her spare time she enjoys following sports and spending time with her own kelpie dog Max.
Dr Meg Green
After graduating from Murdoch University in 2010, Meg worked in mixed practice in country Western Australia for one year before joining the team at City Beach Vets where she works most of the time. She works at Forrestdale Vet Hospital two days a week. Meg has developed a strong passion for small animal medicine and surgery, and in 2018 she completed a Masters of Veterinary Studies (Small Animal Practice).
