Dr Jane Tiernan

BVSc MANZCVS(SAM)

Jane grew up in Drysdale and developed a passion for veterinary medicine from an early age, inspired by a childhood surrounded by animals. She completed her schooling in Geelong before commencing a Bachelor of Veterinary Science at the University of Melbourne. After graduating in 2000, Jane began her career in mixed practice in Bendigo before relocating to the United Kingdom, where she spent seven years gaining extensive experience. During her time abroad, she worked in numerous locum positions across England and Wales, later accepting a role at a busy veterinary charity hospital in London.

Following her marriage to her husband, James, the couple returned to Geelong. Jane joined the team at Corio Veterinary Clinic prior to moving to Highton, where she and James became the owners of Highton Veterinary Clinic in mid-2010.

Jane has undertaken postgraduate studies in Small Animal Medicine and is a member of the Medicine Chapter of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists. She has also completed additional training in small animal surgery through the University of Sydney’s Postgraduate Foundation. Her professional interests span both small animal medicine and surgery, with particular expertise in soft tissue procedures.

At home, Jane and James have cared for a wide variety of pets over the years—including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit, birds, fish, and even a lizard. These days, Jane balances her clinical work with a busy family life, spending cherished time with their children: Seamus, Niamh, Aislin, and Declan.

At the clinic, Jane is available to assist with all aspects of your pet’s health and is especially sought after for her skill in soft tissue surgery.
