Regional Veterinary Officer – Katherine commences
Dr Storm Scheepers recently commenced as the regional veterinary officer for the Katherine region. He grew up in the wilds of Africa and has always shared a love and keen interest in all animals great and small.
Dr Scheepers obtained his Bachelor of Veterinary Biology in 2011, followed by a Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2015 from the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Since then, he has travelled and worked in different countries across Africa, as well as spending some time working in New Zealand and now Australia. He enjoys all facets of being a veterinarian and has worked in different veterinary roles. He has experience working in welfare, mixed‑animal practice and, most recently, small‑animal practice.
When Dr Scheepers isn’t working, you’ll find him outdoors seeking the next thrill and adventure. He recently got his fixed‑wing pilot’s licence and loves his fishing, hiking, camping and scuba diving.
Dr Storm is looking forward to doing his absolute best, using his veterinary skills to function as a member of the Livestock Biosecurity team to protect and enhance the health, welfare and marketing of livestock throughout the Katherine region and the Northern Territory.
