The Vets on Crown Team, located 5 minutes away from Redfern.

Whenever you are available, we are ready.

If you adopted from a rescue and the paperwork is patchy, or if you just want to know what something costs before you agree to it — that's a normal conversation at this clinic. Vets on Crown is about 800 metres from Redfern Station, roughly a five-minute walk up Redfern Street and across Cleveland. Dr Nima opened the clinic in 2017, and weekend hours run a full day — not a reduced Saturday morning. Prices are published, written estimates go out before any procedure, and the price doesn't change mid-treatment without a phone call first.

Redfern pet owners, these are our commitments:

Rescues, rehomes and "whose dog is this now" paperwork

A lot of Redfern pets arrive with a microchip under someone else's name, a foster carer's phone number on the records, and a vaccination history that stops mid-2023. That's a normal consult here. Microchip transfers, catching up on vaccines without starting the schedule over, and working out what's actually been done when the paperwork is patchy — this is routine, not a problem. First visit is longer so we can go through what you know and what you don't.

You'll know the cost before the work starts

Consults from A$98, puppy vaccinations from A$119, dental with full X-rays from A$670 — prices are on the website before you walk in. For anything bigger, a written estimate goes out before any procedure begins. If costs look like they're going to change during treatment, you'll get a phone call first — you're not agreeing to an open-ended bill.

Full weekend service, not just a consult

Saturdays and Sundays run 10am to 4pm — full service, not a reduced Saturday-morning setup. Dental work, surgery consults, follow-ups, new patients — same range of care as a weekday. For Redfern residents who work through the week (hospitality at nearby venues, shift work at RPA, tech roles with no WFH Fridays), a weekend appointment isn't a trade-off.

Five minutes from Redfern Station

About 800 metres from the station — up Redfern Street, across Cleveland, onto Crown. Five to seven minutes on foot with a cat carrier. For Redfern residents who don't drive (plenty don't), the clinic is closer on foot than it is by Uber in traffic. Bus, bike, or on foot — all work.

Such a knowledgeable and supportive team! Our veterinarian Nima was amazing during a very difficult time. His calm, kind demeanour helped us support our very sick little kitten and provided the guidance to manage him successfully at home. Thanks guys, it was a relief to know you were there for our family 🙏🏻 …

Great care. We take our Max there every week for day care. He loves it! And so do we! We recently had to have his teeth cleaned and the whole procedure was handled so well. We were well informed and kept up to date all the way through. Including advice and education on cleaning his teeth at home. Andrew the Vet was exceptionally helpful and great at explaining things . Five stars well deserved.

I recently used Vets on Crown through looking after a friend’s dog who was a patient there. I was very impressed by, and grateful for, both the compassion and professionalism shown by the vets (Luke, Marnie and Madeleine) and all of the staff in what ultimately was a sad outcome. If I lived closer I would definitely take my own dog there.

Me and my partner found this adorable cat outside our apartment this morning! We took him to Vets on Crown and they took care of him. I was very very suprised at how caring the staff were towards the cat. I was grateful to the staff for their help. Great job guys! Keep it up!

The pets of Redfern

A lot of our Redfern patients came from Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, or were taken in off the street by a neighbour who couldn't walk past. That mix — rescues, rehomes and foster-to-adopts — is probably the single most common background story we hear at a first consult here.

For renters and share-house residents dealing with a pet that's technically on the lease of a housemate who's now moved out: bring whatever records you have, and we'll work out the rest together. Custody-of-the-dog paperwork isn't something we can sort out, but vaccination gaps and microchip transfers are.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to Vets on Crown from Redfern Station?

About 800 metres on foot — up Redfern Street, left on Cleveland, right on Crown. Five to seven minutes with a pet carrier.

I just adopted and the paperwork is incomplete — can you still see my pet?

Yes. Bring whatever records you have (vaccination certificates, microchip number, adoption paperwork, foster carer contact) and we'll work out what's been done and what hasn't. Catch-up vaccinations don't usually require restarting the whole schedule.

Will I get a written estimate before you do any work?

Yes. Consultations have published prices on our website. For anything requiring a procedure, you'll get a written estimate before treatment begins. If costs look like they'll change during treatment, we call you before we proceed — you're not agreeing to an open-ended bill.

Do you run full service on weekends, or just quick consults?

Weekends run 10am–4pm, Saturday and Sunday. It's a full-day service — same booking types as weekdays. Public holidays same hours.

Can you transfer a microchip registration to my name?

Yes, during your pet's first visit we can lodge the microchip registry transfer on your behalf. Bring your adoption or transfer paperwork, your ID, and the previous owner's details if you have them.

Where do I go for after-hours emergencies?

Vets on Crown is not a 24/7 hospital. From Darlinghurst, the closest overnight options are SASH Alexandria (~6 minutes by car) and the Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Camperdown (~5 minutes by car). Save both numbers before you need them.

Thank you! We have received your question and will get back asap! 😊
