Brendan Sinnott
Veterinarian & Practice Owner (BSc, BVSc, MANZCVS (Small Animal Surgery))
Hi, I’m Dr. Brendan. I’m the owner of Fleurieu Veterinary Centre. I’ve been a Vet since 2009, have travelled the world and worked in multiple countries since then.
I live in Kangarilla with my wife (also a vet), 3 kids and multitude of animals (including 2 x dogs, a cat, 2 x mini goats, 3 x alpacas, countless chickens and enough sheep to keep the grass down).
I love all things surgical (having gained my surgical membership through the ANZCVS in 2015) and thoroughly enjoy a good laugh, a dark coffee and making bad jokes – something I try to do every day.

Abigail Dingwall
Veterinarian
Hey!
My name is Abigail, and I graduated from James Cook University in 2024. I was born and raised in Cairns before moving to Townsville to complete university. Although my family all live in Queensland, I decided to experience a whole new adventure and move states. I have no pets of my own, but I absolutely love our family border collie, Rex.
I’m passionate about building relationships and finding the treatment options that work best for the whole family (because the fur babies are family too). In my free time, I’m almost guaranteed to be curled up with a strong coffee and a good book.

I am married and we have two beautiful daughters, 16 & 19, and live locally. I have 2 Burmese cats and 2 VERY energetic dogs (Ferris and Sloan) that love their 1.5 hour walks every day.

Alishia Walker
Head Nurse (Certificate IV)
Hello, my name is Alishia and I am a fully qualified Vet Nurse. I have been nursing since 2015.
I have a wide variety of animals at home including cats, horses, a dog and even a magpie but you will commonly hear my talk mostly about my two cats Fluff and Kit, and two horses Jeorge and Bentley.
When I’m not working I spend the majority of my time training and riding horses of all ages and abilities, and teaching others how to do the same.
I love taking care of our surgical patients or those that are in hospital when they are unwell. I occasionally hand rear kittens and love them until they find their forever homes.
My favourite part of being a Vet Nurse is seeing an unwell patient be discharged and go back to their families, well, recovered and happy again.

Maddi Moloney
Trainee Veterinary Nurse
I'm Maddi and I started working at Fleurieu Veterinary Centre in October 2022 straight after high school. I've now started my Veterinary Nurse training. I'm a cat Mum to my fur baby Winnie. My friends say that I'm a bit of a crazy cat lady! I also live with my family pets Monty & Phoenix (dogs) and Bubbles (cat). In my spare time I love exploring new places with friends and family and particularly love spending warm days at the beach.
Since I was a kid I've always imagined myself working with animals and couldn't imagine myself in another position. My favourite part of the day is caring for post-operative patients and building relationships with each pet. I look forward to learning more new things throughout my training and can't wait to see what the future holds for my career.
