Dr. Trevor Pavey
Practice Owner
Dr. Trevor is a graduate from Murdoch University where he completed a Bachelor of Science and Veterinary Medicine and Surgery. He has always had a passion for strenghtening the bond between companion animals and their owners. His career has taken him from being an associate at an ASAVA accredited hospital, to owning & running Kinross Veterinary Hospital since 2012. In July 2015 he then acquired Ausvet Joondalup, and merged both hospitals together into the new Lakeside Vet Centre. In 2019, Lakeside Vet became even bigger with the merger of our nearby practice, Joondalup Central Vet Hospital.
Dr. Trevor is a Member of the Australian Veterinary Association, having held various senior roles on its state committee since 2006. His passion for teaching led him to be a co-ordinator of WA's Veterinary New Graduate Support Scheme and currently holds an Adjunct Lecturer position at Murdoch University. This means you may be lucky enough to meet some of Perth's brightest vet students shadowing him and the rest of our staff when you're next in.
His interest in canine knee surgery & rehabilitation led him to undertake post graduate training in Canine Rehabilitation interstate, making him Australia's first veterinary surgeon that holds a Hydrotherapist accreditation with the Australian Canine Rehabilitation Association (ACRA). As a result Perth Dog Rehab was born and has since helped numerous dogs return to function following various surgeries & injuries.
Above all, Dr. Trevor is well known for giving his clients that extra bit of time to get to know them, their families and their pets.
Dr Trevor and his wife Kathleen have 3 kids to keep them busy at home - Emily, Genevieve & Thomas - as well as his beloved dog Wally.
