Our Story

At Cohuna Vet Clinic, we believe that caring for animals is about more than just medicine—it's about being a trusted partner in your animal's health journey and an active part of the community.

Our clinic was founded by two passionate and experienced veterinarians - Carly Brownlow, who has a deep connection to Cohuna and a lifelong dream of practice ownership, along with Adrian Coghill who has previously worked in the area and has embraced the opportunity to take this service forward into the future.

Carly's Story

Carly’s journey to becoming a vet began with a childhood love for animals, but it was during her time working at Border Veterinary Clinic in Cohuna that she truly found her calling. She fell in love with the town, its people, and the sense of community that made it a special place to live and work. After moving away for more large animal experience, Carly’s dream of returning to Cohuna and owning a practice took shape.

Adrian’s Story

Adrian hails from central Gippsland and graduated as a veterinarian in 2001 from the University of Melbourne. He has worked in mixed practice all over Victoria, Tasmania, the Bega Vally, New Zealand and UK. Having previously worked for Paul and Karen and seeing the potential in the area, he has made the decision with Carly Brownlow to take Cohuna Veterinary Clinic forward into the future and be part of the local community.

Adrian's interests include all aspects of veterinary medicine. He holds additional qualifications and accreditations including:

  • Australian Cattle Veterinarians Accredited Pregnancy Tester (PregCheck)

  • Australian Cattle Veterinarians Accredited Bull Tester (BullCheck)

  • Membership by Examination of the Australian New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists MANZCVS (Dairy Cattle Medicine)

  • Racing NSW Accreditation

In 2025, Adrian and his business partner, Carly, are excited to reopen the doors of Cohuna Vet Clinic, a long-established clinic that had temporarily closed after the passing of the original owner. With a renewed sense of purpose, this dedicated duo are committed to providing modern, affordable veterinary care to all animals, whether they are pets, livestock, or equine companions.
