​

She loves cats and dogs equally, and gets a huge amount of joy from forming close professional bonds with her clients and patients alike.

Tara is also a local who graduated from Murdoch University Veterinary School in 1996.  Tara started her veterinary career in the Perth hills, where she worked as a small animal veterinarian for 3.5 years before doing some travelling.  She spent the next 2.5 years travelling extensively through Europe, working at veterinary clinics in between her travels. 

​

After settling back into Perth, Tara worked locally for 6 years before starting a family. At this point she switched to part time veterinary work and is now kept extremely busy sharing her time between her 3 children, and 3 part time jobs, including working part time here at Vogue Vets. 
 

Tara has been with us since we started Vogue Vets in 2011 and is interested in general Small Animal Medicine and Surgery. 

Outside of work, Tara enjoys spending time with her family and ferrying them between various sporting events!

Dr Nadia Marchini

BSc, BVMS

Nadia is another Murdoch University Veterinary Graduate, having graduated from there in 1991.

Nadia spent numerous years in mixed animal practice in the Pilbara and south west WA, until she finally moved back to Perth to concentrate on small animal medicine and surgery.

After 10 years full time in practice she became disheartened at the inability to help some cases with western medicine. She then became interested in alternative therapies and decided to study for an Advanced Diploma of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture. This course was taken over 3 1/2 years with 5 weeks work experience in a hospital in Hangzhou China and, although the course was aimed at people, she has used acupuncture in animals both during and after her studies with great success.

On completion of the course Nadia started a mobile veterinary acupuncture business with a colleague but the birth of her children made this harder for her to do. Currently, she is lecturing veterinary nursing part time at Tafe but her passion for helping fur babies with acupuncture is always utmost in her mind. 

Nadia is very excited to be involved with a Wellness centre for animals and  to work with other like minded Vets to help your pets feel comfortable and happy throughout their lives.

Nadia is available for appointments at Stirling every Friday
