Dr Hannah Williams
BVBiol/BVSc
VETERINARIAN & OWNER
Dr. Hannah is the dedicated owner of Corowa Veterinary Clinic. Originally from Bairnsdale, she moved to Wagga Wagga after finishing school to study Veterinary Medicine at Charles Sturt University. Hannah graduated in 2017 and began her career in a busy mixed practice in Ballarat. It was there that her love for all aspects of mixed veterinary work truly developed, particularly her passion for complex medical cases that require a thoughtful and thorough approach.Hannah’s favourite part of being a veterinarian is witnessing the joy of pets reuniting with their owners after recovering from a stay in hospital.
In 2020, Hannah and her husband relocated to the Riverina to return to his family farm. During this time, she worked as a locum veterinarian at a range of clinics before taking over ownership of Corowa Veterinary Clinic in May 2021. Since then, she has embraced both the challenges and rewards of running a business while also navigating the adventure of becoming a mum along the way.
Hannah takes great pride in supporting her team, and one of her favourite parts of being a business owner is watching her staff grow and evolve.
Outside of the clinic, Hannah is a proud mum to two wonderful boys, William and Edward, and one four-legged princess, Frankie, the family’s beloved German Shorthaired Pointer. When she’s not at work, she enjoys spending quality time with her family on the farm and making the most of the little spare time she has.
Hannah is excited about the future of Corowa Veterinary Clinic and is proud to offer the region high-quality, modern, and compassionate veterinary care.
