Lort Smith, Australia’s largest not-for-profit animal hospital, has been an integral part of Melbourne’s compassionate community since 1936. As proud Melburnians, we understand the significance of a cohesive society which places a high value on the health, wellbeing, and safety of both our citizens and their beloved pets. To help facilitate this our purpose is clear: We believe pets and their people should be put before profits. Our commitment to providing veterinary care to animals in need has not only helped shape the landscape of pet welfare in Melbourne, but also reinforced the bond that defines our great city. As a result, our not for profit Animal Hospital means that people with more, can help their fellow Melburnians who may be less fortunate. And bring people together over a shared love of their animals. Lort Smith staff and volunteers strive every day to be the animal hospital all of Melbourne truly admires and is proud of.
