Meet Our Team

Dr Judy Chapman

Veterinarian

I am one of the founders and owners of Gold City Veterinary Clinic along with my daughter, Jess.  I graduated from Murdoch university, Perth and have worked extensively in both Australia and New Zealand in mixed and small animal practice.. I have a special interest in dermatology and soft tissue surgery but enjoy general small animal practice including challenging medicine cases.  My husband and I are enjoying living in the Towers and exploring north QLD region.  

Dr Jess Batt

Veterinarian

Hi, I’m Jess, one of the Veterinarians and owners of Gold City Vets. I have an interest in companion animals and everything that comes with them. I enjoy my job because it is hands on and varies every day.

I really thrive on critical care work as it presents a challenge and it makes me happy sending patients home to their loved ones.

As a vet, I pride myself on patient care and excellent communication with owners to achieve the best outcome for the family. It is incredibly important to me for an owner to be fully informed about their animal’s health and the options that they have in both preventative care a​s well as​ treatment of illness or injury.

As a business owner, I am proud of our community involvement through Cat Rescue, sponsorship of sports teams, participation in work experience programs, youth mentoring and many other ways.

I look forward to caring for your pets,

Dr Jess Batt.

Caroline (Caz) Ames

Veterinary Nurse

Hi, I am Caz

I am originally from the UK but have made Australia home.  I am loving being in Charters Towers as I have relocated from NSW.  

I am a Cert IV qualified Veterinary Nurse with a passion for all animals.  I have a keen interest in animal development and behaviour.

I teach puppies and do canine training and have a personal interest in dog agility. 

Over my nursing career I have rescued and fostered all sorts of animals from kittens to kangaroos.  I actively rescue koalas and have volunteered for nearly 5 years.  I have my own mixed group of rescues that keep my busy outside of clinic hours but I wouldnt have it any other way.
