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.

These guys are awesome, I just have to say "do you want to go to Vets on Crown" and my dog Rocco gets excited about their boarding service. He loves the place and the staff there all know him well. He gets lots of play time and walks. There's never been a problem over the last 5 years and now he's there also monthly with our busy schedule. My wife and I live out past Windsor, so it's a long trip to drop him off, but it's a great drop off point on our way to the airport. We've tried the likes of Mad Paws and other boarding kenells out our way, but find them hugely over priced, without the same care and attention and it's great to have full vetenary service available if the need arises. The team at Vets On Crown are always welcoming, bookings are easy and feedback back on how he's going is just a phone call. Well done to the team, we love your service with a doggy cuddle.

Exceptional care and a convenient location right on the corner of Main Street, making it easy to find and access. The staff were incredibly welcoming, and the veterinarians provided outstanding care for my beloved service dog. As a veteran service dog, his well-being is of the utmost importance to me, and I’m very selective about who I trust with him. The owner, Omid, went above and beyond during a difficult moment. Seeing that I was distressed as an Aussie Army veteran, he stayed by my side throughout the process, ensuring I received a clear diagnosis and expert advice on surgery and specialist options. His kindness, empathy, and personal attention made a world of difference. I truly couldn’t recommend this clinic highly enough. Their professionalism, care, and understanding put me at ease during an anxious time — probably more anxious than my dog! I am deeply grateful for the support and exceptional service they provided and also the well considered path forward they have suggested that will deliver the best possible outcome for my beloved fur baby.

My French bulldog has been coming to Vets on Crown since I picked him up from his breeder. He is always happy to go to the vets as he knows from experience they are kind and caring. Vets on Crown offer a complete wrap around service from vet support and follow up to doggie daycare and boarding.

Cannot recommend this place highly enough, Nima and his team are amazing, it has daycare for our little puppy, they even have the best groomer in Sydney plus puppy school. Everything you need is under the one roof!

We can only pay gap bill which is so great!!! They can call insurance and tell us exact amount we should pay, and they do the rest, let the insurance pay their share.

Helen at Vets On Crown is amazing! She was so kind and thorough in explaining how to care for my new puppy. Her attention to detail and patience made me feel confident as a new pet owner. Fantastic service—highly recommend!

My pup had been ill for over a year and the previous vets at St Peters could not work out what it was. However moving to Vets on Crown, the immediate attention the staff and the vet gave to my little one was amazing and in a few weeks were able to find a diagnosis which could have left him in a critical condition as he already had AP. He was diagnosed with ME, a rare condition and Dr Nima has been super attentive and great with giving us the right medication and advice. Really glad we came here and would highly recommend them :)

Very helpful, efficient and friendly service. They always look after my girl 🐈‍⬛ They have a room just for cats with feliway plugged in too which is good for calming visits down. …

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! 😊
