Dr Joeanne Katsikaros

Veterinarian (BVSc (Hons) BSc.)

Joe founded The Grange Veterinary Clinic in 2000, turning an empty building into the caring, nurturing veterinary clinic it is today. Owning her own practice allows Joe to treat clients and their pets with empathy and respect, true to the principles that led her into the veterinary field in the first place.

Joe has been treating the pets of the Illawarra for 28 years. She graduated from Sydney University with both a Bachelor Of Science degree in Zoology and Microbiology, as well as her Bachelor Of Veterinary Science degree.  She has a keen interest in small animal medicine and surgery, and finds great satisfaction helping treat injured wildlife and seabirds. In her spare time, she enjoys volunteering with NPWS helping in the monitoring of seabirds and the rehabilitation of Big Island off Wollongong.

Joe believes we should all leave the Earth a better place for us having been in it and is very deeply committed to animal welfare and conservation. She is a member of a number of organisations including VALE, WSPA, Animals Australia, AMRRIC and Dian Fossey International.  Joe also sponsors three great kids through Childfund; Agnes in Kenya, Vin Meng Hor in Cambodia, and Degefa in Ethiopia. 

Joe is finally getting to work ticking things off her bucket list and 2017 saw her fulfilling her childhood dream of travelling to Africa and volunteering with a conservation foundation, Wildlife ACT, as well as playing with the wildlife in Botswana, and hanging out with the Gorillas and Chimpanzees in Uganda. Joe also spent six wonderful weeks sailing to Antarctica on a yacht, following wildlife wherever it led. She has also had enormous fun travelling across Madagascar in search of Indri Indri, Lemurs and any other amazing creature that crossed her path:)

Joe's family includes Claude, her Cockatoo and Charley, her Galah, Snakey, her Childrens Python and her two cats, Elvis and Archie.

In her spare time Joe loves sailing, photography, bush walking, camping, gardening, reading and generally being anywhere outdoors.
