Camila AertsHead Nurse
After more then 8 years working with animals in South America and Europe, Camila moved to Australia in 2018 with her husband and her chocolate labrador, Lisboa. With experience in domestic animals, wildlife and animal behaviour, she started her Australian journey in Sydney NSW, completing her Cert IV in Vet Nursing at TAFE and working at two Veterinary Hospitals. In November 2018, Camila moved to Kangaroo Island to work as the head nurse at the vet clinic and instantly felt at home with the islander life. In her spare time, she loves to discover new places to camp and snorkel with her friends and to enjoy what KI has to offer. |

Nikki JonesVeterinary Nurse
Nikki moved to the island when she was 1 and grew up on a cattle and sheep farm. She started pony club when she was 2 on a miniature horse called Babelon who she still has today. Nikki rides at the local Hunt Club and competes in the Kingscote and Parndana show every year, she also tries to get off the island during the year to compete at shows/events on the mainland. She is very passionate about horses and would love to work with horses everyday. Nikki completed year 12 at Kingscote campus and went on to shed hand for 3 years around the island. She got her owners classing certificate but it wasn’t satisfying enough for her. She knew she wanted to work with animals everyday. In October 2017 Nikki started working at the KI Vet Clinic, where she has completed her Cert II in veterinary nursing and is about to begin her Cert IV where she will become a qualified veterinary nurse. In the future I would like to do further study with equine science and medicine. |
