Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital

Doctor William Ilkin

Meet Dr. William Ilkin, Trusted Vet in NSW Australia

Bill graduated in 1970 and has been the director of Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital since its inception. His goal has always been twofold: to establish Kirrawee Veterinary Hospital as one of the best in the country, offering the latest in veterinary pet care, and just as importantly, to create a warm and welcoming environment for both staff and clients.

Under his leadership, the hospital has twice won the Sutherland Shire Small Business Award (Pet Care category) and has been accredited as a Hospital of Excellence by the Australian Small Animal Veterinary Association. Bill takes great pride in his dedicated, hardworking team, whose commitment has made the hospital both a success and a joy to work in. He is also deeply grateful to his family for their love, support, and understanding throughout the years.

Now retired, Bill still plays an active role in the clinic, coming in once or twice a week to assist with orthopaedic surgeries. Clients continue to ask about him, and many are delighted to run into Bill and Margueritte at their local café or down at Cronulla, where they’re often seen chatting up a storm.
