Dr Diane Gibney has been a familiar face in Ballarat for over 35 years. A graduate of Melbourne University, Diane was first invited to practise in Ballarat as a new graduate and stayed! She moved away briefly whilst completing an internship in small animal medicine at Melbourne Veterinary Hospital. Diane enjoys both surgery and medicine but especially loves the opportunity to form lasting relationships with her patients – the “fur babies’ and their families.

Her passion to provide the very best of care motivated Diane to study Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, and she is now qualified in both veterinary acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. These alternative therapies are powerful tools in the treatment of many conditions especially chronic pain.

In her spare time, Diane loves to run (marathons) and cycle and dance.  She is also a board member of the Lort Smith animal hospital in Melbourne, a senior fellow of the Melbourne Faculty of Veterinary Science and a Director of the Australian College of Veterinary Acupuncture.
