Following graduation from the University of Melbourne in 2010 with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science, Eben continued to work in his home town of Melbourne in small animal general and emergency practice.

Upon returning later that year, he became partner in a large practice in the northern suburbs of Melbourne and in 2016 obtained membership to the Emergency and Critical Care Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists by examination. Although Eben had worked primarily in emergency practice, his passion always lay with surgery and in 2018 Eben moved to the sunny Perth to begin a 12 month internship at WAVES. During this same year he obtained membership into the Surgical Chapter of the College by examination, and in 2019 Eben began a three year surgical residency training program at WAVES. Upon completion of his residency training program, Eben obtained his Fellowship within the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in 2023, granting him the qualifications necessary to be registered as a specialist in small animal surgery. Although a long way from family and friends, Eben and his partner love living in Perth, and consider it their home away from home. Although Eben enjoys all facets of surgery, he has particular interests in orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery and trauma surgery.
