Dr Jane Day

BVSc MVS FANZCVS (Radiology) Specialist

Jane was raised on a cattle and sheep property near Goondiwindi in Queensland and graduated from Queensland University in 1994. She was planning on being a large animal veterinarian but after being kicked by too many cattle on the family property she decided small animal work was the way to go. She worked in small animal practice in Canberra, Darwin, Brisbane and the UK before moving to the University of Melbourne to do a residency. She enjoys teaching and has worked at several universities, most recently as Associate Professor at James Cook University. She has been an office bearer of the Radiology Chapter of the ANZCVS and is a frequent examiner. At WAVES she enjoys working as part of a team to provide the best possible care for patients. Outside of work she enjoys time with the family on the boat or walking with Sophie the dog.
