Skip the carrier, the car trip and the waiting room. Dr Winnie brings unhurried, hospital-trained care to your home, anywhere in Mambourin. No travel fee, and you see the price before she starts.
Standard home visit from $110.
Mambourin is so new the suburb is still being built around its first residents. The Marketplace is open, the parks are in, and the streets keep coming. One thing hasn't arrived: a vet clinic.
It doesn't need to. Dr Winnie's mobile practice is based in Wyndham Vale next door, and Mambourin is part of her regular rounds. Your dog or cat is seen at home, where they're calm.
When your pet needs any of these, you get a specific referral (not a brochure) and Dr Winnie stays in the loop until your pet is home.
Dr Winnie qualified at the University of Queensland in 2007. Across nearly two decades she has worked in emergency medicine, the surgical unit of a university teaching hospital, and everyday suburban practice, before committing to home visits full-time.
That blend of experience counts. Years in emergency and teaching-hospital surgery trained her eye to catch the serious things early, and to tell the difference between a lump that can be left alone and one that belongs in front of a surgeon. General practice is where she found she loved the steady work of keeping pets well.
Being Fear Free certified means she takes her lead from your pet, reading their body language and moving at a pace they can handle rather than forcing the exam. And because she is a registered vet working solo, the person at your door is the same familiar face every visit, not whoever happens to be rostered on.
Dr Winnie has helped to make vet visits a positive experience for my dogs, and I think her gentle, behaviour based approach is brilliant! I have one dog in particular who needs extra care and has had a bad experience in the past with vets. Dr Winnie has created a comfortable environment for him and made excellent progress. Would highly recommend!
Vet Winnie is fantastic. Very thorough checkup and happy with the service. Pricing is also very good.Will definitely be calling on her for next vet visit.
Dr Winnie has been so caring and gentle with our old dog Willow. Willow is usually quite territorial and takes her time warming up to new people, so I was amazed to see how comfortable she was with dr winnie right from the start.
We had a great experience with Gentle Vet Care and Dr Winnie.The home visit made things much less stressful for our pet, and the whole process felt calm and easy. Dr Winnie was gentle, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly.Highly recommend if you’re after a more relaxed alternative to clinic visits.
Highly recommend Dr Winnie! She takes her time, she follows the fear free principles which means she listens to your dog, something that is extremely important especially if you have a sensitive or anxious dog or a brand new puppy.Even more convenient is the fact she comes to you!! No waiting in a car park or crammed waiting room.If you are looking for a kind and compassionate vet, Dr Winnie is the one.
Winnie thx so much for all you did for us today. Not only were you a very capable vet, but your care for all of us was grounded in deep compassion. I will be forever grateful for the kindness and understanding you showered on us. Many blessings Finn, Fletch and Aari 🤗💕🐾🌹
Mambourin Marketplace covers the groceries, but the suburb doesn't have a vet clinic yet. Dr Winnie brings the consult to your living room instead: vaccinations, health checks, sick-pet visits, the lot. The nearest waiting room stays where it belongs, somewhere else.
Plenty of Mambourin residents works from home. A home visit is a booked time slot in your own house, not a morning lost to a clinic round trip. Book it between meetings and be back at your desk while your dog is still showing off.
A standard home visit is from $110, with no travel fee in Mambourin. Anything extra is itemised and shown to you first. No surprises, no upselling.

Reach out online or by message. You will hear back from Dr Winnie within 4 business hours, with a quick checklist to prep, such as any recent vet history, a calm space to use, and anything specific you want looked at.
Dr Winnie arrives with everything in the car, from scales and stethoscope to otoscope, medications and any vaccines for the day. She sets up in whichever spot your pet feels happiest.
She checks the heart and lungs, looks in the ears and at the teeth, feels through the abdomen and watches how your pet moves, talking you through what she finds in everyday language as she goes. Plan on roughly 45 minutes.
You get a clear rundown of the findings, a treatment plan where one is needed, and named referrals plus follow-up if anything calls for more than a home visit can offer.
Dr Winnie covers every street in Mambourin and Mambourin Green, from the Marketplace side to blocks where the fences went up last week. If the GPS hasn't caught up with your street yet, pop your lot number in the booking.
Wyndham Vale next door is home base, and Manor Lakes and Werribee are covered too.
Do you cover Mambourin?
Yes. All of Mambourin 3024, including Mambourin Green, with no travel fee. Dr Winnie is based in Wyndham Vale next door, so you're inside her home patch, not on the edge of it.
How much does a home visit cost in Mambourin?
A standard consultation starts from $110. There's no travel fee to Mambourin, and anything beyond the consult is itemised and shown to you before work starts.
There's no vet clinic in Mambourin. Where do locals take their pets?
You don't have to take them anywhere for everyday care. Dr Winnie does vaccinations, health checks and sick-pet consults at your home. For surgery, imaging or anything needing clinic equipment, she refers you with her notes, and the 24-hour hospital in Werribee is about 15 minutes away.
Can a home visit fit around working from home?
Yes. You book a time slot, the visit happens in your own home, and there's no round trip to a clinic. Most appointments are a few days out, and Dr Winnie confirms within 4 business hours.
Is there a 24-hour vet near Mambourin?
The closest 24-hour hospital is Greencross Vet Hospital at the University of Melbourne, 250 Princes Highway, Werribee, about 15 minutes away, open 24/7 for emergencies (03 8721 1414). Dr Winnie also refers to Advanced Vetcare in Kensington (03 9092 0400) and Geelong Animal Referral Hospital (03 4219 2169). She doesn't do after-hours herself, so if your pet is collapsed, struggling to breathe, bleeding heavily, having a seizure, or has a swollen, painful belly, go straight to Werribee. For anything that can wait, book a home visit.
Do you offer in-home end-of-life care?
Yes. Dr Winnie provides gentle, in-home euthanasia, so your pet can be at peace surrounded by family. Please call so she can talk you through it with care.
