Dr. Anita Bean BVSc Hons.

Dr. Anita Bean’s Personal Profile

Anita was raised in Yeronga and attended Yeronga State High School. She finished Year 12 as Dux of the School and was accepted into the veterinary course at the University of Qld. She graduated with first class honours and has been a member of the ‘Australian Veterinary Association’ since 1992. Anita is also a member of the ‘Australian Veterinary Small Animal Association’. Anita began her working career in rural NSW in a mixed animal practice. Anita then spent a few years working as a locum vet in the UK until she returned to Brisbane with her husband in 2000. Anita worked as a locum at Yeronga Vet Surgery and Highgate Hill, where she quickly established herself as a highly confident and popular local vet.

Between 2001 – 2004 Anita took a few years off to start a family and she is the proud mother of 3 children, Samuel, Grace and Marcus.

In 2006, Anita was offered the opportunity to purchase Yeronga Vet Surgery. She couldn’t resist the challenge of owning the local vet surgery where she had previously worked.

Anita quickly built up a loyal clientele and her focus has always been on delivering the highest standards of care for her clients pets.

In 2011, the surgery became a victim of the terrible floods and although the clinic was out of action for some time, Anita continued to serve the local community by offering free check-ups and limited veterinary services.

Anita’s passion for delivering the highest standards of care for her clients motivated her to begin designing a brand new surgery on the existing site. These plans resulted in the demolition of the existing building to build a brand new state of the art clinic that could deliver the very best veterinary care. Such is her devotion to her clients that she continued running the surgery out of a mobile office and the cattery was fitted out for the reception area and surgery and food sales.
