Born in Shepparton Victoria and growing up on a dairy farm in the North East is where Jacque’s love for animals began. During her high school year’s her family relocated to tropical North Queensland. With the new environment came with all sorts of interesting animals from green tree frogs, rhino beetles to fruit bats.

Jacque Bateman
Practice Manager / Veterinary Nurse
After graduating school she embarked on a gap year and working holiday with her high school sweetheart Nick in London, England, before they settled in Adelaide. Jacque then began studying a Certificate in Animal and Laboratory techniques in 1998. Soon after this she was offered a full-time position in a Veterinary Clinic in Adelaide’s leafy suburbs, Jacque worked within a great team for many years and gained her qualifications. She enjoyed working closely with one of Adelaide Zoo’s leading Veterinarians who specialized in avian and native animals, something that has proved a fantastic asset for the region and its native residents here in Euroa and the North East.
When Jacque’s first son was born they returned to Victoria to be close to family, she focused on raising her two sons until they began school. Jacque has a great way with animals as well as people and she recently completed a Diploma in Bookkeeping and Accounting to gain a deeper understanding of business operations and to aid her husband’s Carpentry business.
Jacque was excited (and we were thrilled!) to join ACE Vet Hospital Euroa in 2018, as a full-time practice manager/ veterinary nurse and is looking forward to a bright future with us here. We are very lucky to have Jacque to mentor our staff and greet patients and their owners with a warm, beautiful smile...smiles all round!
