South Eastern Equine Hospital
We are pleased to be able to offer a continued high level of care for all our clients and patients during these unprecedented times. On advice from the government and the Australian Veterinary Association (AVA), we have had to implement some new protocols for patient admissions. This includes patients that are coming for consultations as well as admissions to the hospital.

South Eastern Equine Hospital is a specialist hospital located in the South East of Melbourne of Victoria. The hospital provides specialist care for all horses whether they are primary or referred cases. We offer advanced diagnostic and surgical techniques in excellent facilities and are staffed with specialists in equine surgery, internal medicine, anaesthesia and ophthalmology.
Services
Our experienced veterinarians, specialists, consultants, nurses, and barn staff ensure the best health outcomes for your horse. Robyn Charman graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1990 having gained her Bachelor of Veterinary Science with honours. Robyn then worked as a mixed practice veterinarian under the guidance of Dr Neville Japp and later Dr Colin Bassett where she developed a special interest in equine medicine and surgery.
Answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) regarding your horse's hospitalisation and procedures. No you don't need to have a referral to be seen by us. We see any horse whether it has been referred to us by another vet or is coming to us as their primary vet. We are happy to assist you with any of your horses health needs, this can be an ongoing, complex issue or a general health check or vaccinations.
We provide first class emergency and routine neonatal care. Our vets are available 24/7 to provide medical and surgical support for, and during, this vulnerable period. Our diagnostic services include ultrasonography, digital radiography, arterial blood gas analysis, blood glucose analysis, pulse oximetry, urinalysis and IgG evaluation along with around the clock monitoring and treatments.
At South Eastern Equine hospital our team of highly qualified Vets and Nurses are on hand to deal with emergencies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - including Public Holidays. This ensures that first class treatment can be extended to your horse regardless of the time of day or night.

Emergency treatments are aided with advanced imaging such as digital radiography and ultrasonography as well as stall side laboratory work including blood gas analysis.Common after-hours emergencies range from lacerations through to colic and an experienced team is always available for emergency surgery and to provide the necessary intensive aftercare and monitoring throughout the night.
Radiography and ultrasound are the most commonly used imaging techniques in horses and our vets have access to a full range of portable digital equipment. All images obtained from these techniques are stored digitally and are available immediately to our veterinarians. Radiography is the most commonly used imaging technique used to evaluate lameness by allowing us to visualise bones and joints.

Fantastic facilities, caring staff. Looked after my two horses with the utmost care and kept me informed the whole way through. When your precious horse is in hospital you want to know that they are comfortable, safe and their welfare is the highest priority. SE Equine Hospital ticks all the boxes. Thank you for everything.

I recently had to take my very special mate to these guys... unfortunately I didn’t get to take him home. He had a tumour growing in his head and it was extremely aggressive. All the nurses vets and admin were… incredible, so very understanding and kind. I can not thank everyone down there enough for the care and love they showed not only my best mate but myself and family. Thank you all who are involved. Thank you for allowing me to share him with you. Thank you
