Farrah is the Practice Manager at Forest Hill Veterinary Hospital since early 2026 and brings more than 30 years of experience across both veterinary and human healthcare. She first qualified with an Associate Diploma in Applied Science (Animal Technician) from Box Hill TAFE before later completing her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. During her career, Farrah also pursued leadership opportunities in human healthcare, progressing into theatre management roles within private hospitals, before returning to the veterinary profession and continuing her professional development through VetPrac at the University of Queensland, a Diploma of Business Management, and a range of additional professional qualifications.

Since returning to the industry, Farrah has worked in specialty emergency and referral practice, including veterinary anaesthesia, before moving into practice management. She is passionate about mentoring veterinary nurses, supporting team wellbeing, and advocating for the veterinary profession. A strong supporter of the Veterinary Nurses Council of Australia (VNCA), Farrah is dedicated to raising awareness of the diverse skills and expertise that veterinary nurses and veterinarians bring to the care of their patients. Above all, she believes in being a voice for animals and ensuring every patient receives compassionate, high-quality care.

Outside of work, Farrah enjoys travelling in her caravan with friends and taking her dogs along on the adventure. She shares her home with a small army of pets, including Pixie, her much-loved rescue French Bulldog. Born with two congenital heart defects, Pixie is very much “here for a good time, not a long time” and serves as a daily reminder to cherish every moment and make the most of life’s adventures.
