Our History

This practice was founded in the early 1950’s by Alan Chittick. At that time there were over 300 registered dairies in the area and cattle work formed the majority of the veterinary work. Bill Beresford commenced work with Alan in 1982 soon after graduating. Bill became a partner in the practice in 1988.

Charlie Carter joined the practice in 2006 and became a partner in 2008. At that time there were only 12 dairies left in the area so the small animal component of our practice grew markedly. However, Beresford and Carter was still a truly mixed practice with half our cases consisting of large animal work with dairy and beef cattle, horses, alpacas, sheep and goats.

In December 2011, we outgrew our old business name of Beresford and Carter Vets, and the decision to change the name to Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre was made.

In July 2013 we opened a new purpose built hospital at 48 Berrima Rd in Moss Vale. This new facility gave us the space to offer the very highest quality veterinary care to our clients and patients

Bill Beresford retired in 2019 after 37 years of service to the Southern Highlands community.

In March 2025, Charlie became the sole owner of Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre.

Charlie is very excited about the future of the Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre. He is passionate about working with the exceptional team at Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre to provide caring, compassionate and high quality care to all our patients. He also is very passionate about ensuring Southern Highlands Veterinary Centre remains engaged and contributes to the local community.

Thanks to your ongoing support, our practice continues to grow. If you have any suggestions on how we could improve our services please let us know.
