Our Services
Veterinary HR Services
Harmonise HR provides practical, veterinary-specific HR services designed to support clinics and hospitals of all sizes. We work with veterinary practices across Australia, helping owners and managers navigate the unique HR, compliance, and people challenges of clinical environments.
Whether your practice is just starting out or well-established, you need clear, current, and reliable HR advice. Harmonise HR delivers tailored solutions covering contracts, policies, WHS, recruitment, training, and ongoing HR support, so your practice remains compliant, protected, and well-run.
General HR Advice
Employment law is constantly changing, and keeping up can be challenging for veterinary practices. Harmonise HR provides clear, practical HR advice to help you stay Fair Work compliant, without the cost of an in-house HR manager.
HR Documents
We prepare tailored HR documentation for veterinary practices, including employment contracts, policies and procedures, position descriptions, employee handbooks, and veterinary-specific WHS policies. Generic templates rarely reflect clinical risks or Award obligations, customised documents provide far stronger protection.
Fair Work Matters
Fair Work claims are time-consuming, stressful, and often costly, even when employers act with good intentions. Strong compliance is the most effective way to reduce risk. Harmonise HR provides clear, practical advice to help veterinary practices navigate Fair Work obligations and manage issues early, before they escalate..
Performance Management
Grievances and disciplinary issues can be time-consuming and high-risk if handled incorrectly. Harmonise HR supports veterinary practices to manage performance, conduct, and grievances lawfully and fairly, providing clear guidance to help achieve timely, objective outcomes.
Workplace Investigations
Workplace investigations must be handled carefully to protect your practice and ensure fair outcomes. Harmonise HR provides advice or conducts investigations on your behalf, ensuring processes are lawful, objective, and aligned with relevant legislation.
Redundancy and Termination
Redundancy and termination matters must be managed carefully to minimise legal and reputational risk. Harmonise HR provides independent, expert advice to help veterinary practices navigate these processes lawfully, fairly, and with appropriate sensitivity.
Training Courses
Staying compliant and building capable leaders requires ongoing, practical training. Harmonise HR delivers veterinary-specific HR training designed to meet legal obligations, support professional development, and strengthen leadership capability.
Our full-day HR Fundamentals workshop provides essential HR knowledge and practical tools for practice owners, managers, and leaders and remains our most popular course.
We also deliver targeted training, including Psychosocial Hazards Workshop, Understanding Parental Leave, Attendance Management, and Designing Workplace Culture and Accountability.
As our training offering continues to expand, we are developing a dedicated HR Training School to support veterinary practices with structured, practical learning pathways.
Recruitment and On-Boarding
After working closely with you to understand your recruitment needs, we prepare effective advertising to attract quality candidates. We act as the first point of contact with applicants and shortlist suitable candidates for interview. We can organise and attend interviews, either on-site or remotely, and undertake reference checks. Once an appointment is made, we prepare compliant onboarding documentation and support the development of an effective induction program.
HR Coaching
At Harmonise HR, we understand that HR challenges can be complex and overwhelming, especially if you’re managing them without a strong HR background. Our tailored HR Coaching service provides personalised one-on-one support to help you navigate your unique HR issues with confidence. We offer expert guidance, flexible coaching sessions, and access to valuable resources, so you can focus on growing your business. Don’t let HR issues hold you back – book a session with us today and empower yourself to tackle your HR responsibilities effectively.
We take the HR work off your plate, giving you back time to run your practice and care for your patients.
Prevention Is Better Than Cure
This principle is well understood in veterinary practice and applies just as strongly to HR. Proactive HR systems reduce risk, prevent disputes, and support better outcomes for both the practice and employees. Identifying issues early and putting clear procedures in place is far more effective than managing problems once they escalate.
Fee for Service, Not an Annual Fee
Harmonise HR operates on a transparent, fee-for-service basis. There are no lock-in contracts or ongoing subscriptions. You pay only for the services you need, when you need them, with clear pricing provided upfront so there are no surprises.
Tailored Solutions, Not Off-the-Shelf Templates
Veterinary practices are not interchangeable, and neither are their HR needs. Generic templates, automated systems, and one-size-fits-all software rarely reflect the realities of clinical environments or Award obligations.
Harmonise HR delivers tailored, veterinary-specific solutions designed to suit your practice, your team, and your risk profile—saving time, reducing exposure, and supporting sustainable growth.
