Ayr Clinic
Tropical Vets Ayr has outgrown its current premises, and has a brand new clinic under construction!
The Ayr team are a positive and friendly group, overseen by Tropical Vets Director Dr. Tobin Stubbs.
The Team
Tobin was born and raised on a cane farm in the Burdekin. He always had many pets, from pigs to dogs as well as a barramundi pond.
With a particular interest in orthopaedic surgery, Tobin leads our team in Ayr.
Lauren received Bachelor of Veterinary Science from James Cook University and has recently joined Tropical Vets Ayr. With a strong passion for mixed practice and the biosecurity industry, Lauren is a committed member of the team and looks forward to making Ayr her home. When she's not working, Lauren loves spending time with her Jack Russell, Mochi. Whether exploring local parks and beaches or diving into a good book, Lauren finds joy in the simple pleasures of life.
Madi grew up on a cattle property near Richmond QLD. She graduated from JCU in 2017 then spent 3 years working at a mixed practice in Mackay before moving to the Burdekin.
While Madi loves all the variety that mixed practice offers, she has a particular interest in ultrasonography and feline medicine. This might have something to do with Madi being a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady. Her cat Willow won't allow any more cats in the family, so Madi settled for a very loved dog named Moxxi (pictured).
Madi would love to spend most of her free time in the water - Water-skiing, scuba diving or just a swim in the creek. On dry land, Madi likes a good card game and spending time with family and friends.

More about the area
Ayr is situated within the Burdekin river basin, about one hour south of Townsville. This quant rural community is predominantly a farming area, with many locals also enjoying the good fishing. It's only a short drive to beautiful Alva beach, the departure location for some incredible reef and dive trips, including the S.S. Yongala Dive site and Stanley Reef. Nearby Burdekin River provides a great fishing location, and the Ayr township is close enough to the beautiful beaches of Bowen (approx. 1 hour drive) or the spectacular Whitsundays (2 hour drive) for a day or weekend trip away!
