Introducing Vet Nurse Bronte Potts

How long have you been at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital? Almost 3 years but have been a vet nurse for almost 10 years. Started working with animals when I was 15, so have been in the industry for close to 15 years.

What is your motivation to save wildlife? Environmental biodiversity and conservation.

Qualifications: Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing

What is your favourite wildlife species? I find them all fascinating but have a real soft spot for yellow-tailed black cockatoos.

Who has been your most memorable patient? Mac Freeman. A female koala who was sadly hit by a car and spent 2 months in the hospital. Mac suffered severe fractures, lacerations and lost her left eye. Unfortunately, Mac didn't survive so I made a pair of Mac Freeman earrings for myself in her memory.
