Veterinarian

Dr Lynda Shaw

Originally from Sydney, Dr Lynda grew up surrounded by a menagerie of pets (and plenty of family too!). She graduated with honours from the University of Sydney in 2006 and spent the next seven years working on the Central Coast before making Newcastle her home. Lynda joined the Macquarie Vetz team in 2025.

She has a keen interest in small animal medicine, ophthalmology, and managing chronic health conditions. Lynda loves building lasting relationships with her patients and their humans, and is known for her calm, thorough approach.

Outside of work, Lynda makes the most of Newcastle’s natural beauty – whether she’s at the beach, exploring the bush or relaxing by the lake. She’s also a fan of cooking, cryptic crosswords, a good book, and catching up with friends. At home, she shares her couch with Maple, a rescue cat who never quite made it back from her foster care stint.
