About Us
The Victorian Equine Group operates Bendigo Equine Hospital and several satellite locations in the Lancefield region, the Nagambie region and in Victoria’s northern regions.

The Bendigo Equine Hospital is a first opinion, referral and 24/7 emergency medical facility. Our team is highly skilled and features both surgical and reproductive specialists, ambulatory and hospital-based clinicians.
Beyond the hospital, Bendigo offers an outstanding lifestyle – a vibrant regional city with a welcoming community. Enjoy the beautiful countryside and a relaxed pace of life all while being just a short drive from Melbourne.
