About Us
Founded and operated by two passionate veterinarians, Dr. Audrey Shen from Sydney, Australia, and Dr. Scott Bainbridge from Ontario, Canada, IVVO is all about combining veterinary expertise with global impact.
With over 43 years of combined experience, Audrey and Scott have worked, taught, and traveled the world, dedicating their lives to animals and the incredible veterinary professionals who care for them. Now, they’ve teamed up to create a business that gives back—to their patients, to wildlife, and to the veterinary community.
​
How It All Began
Audrey and Scott first crossed paths in Australia while teaching at Future Vet Kids Camp, a veterinary camp for kids founded by Scott and his wife, Andra. In 2019, Audrey and her twin sister Alison (also a veterinarian!) took over the camp, which now runs across three states in Australia during school holidays.
Both Scott and Audrey continue to work as veterinarians, but they’ve also made room for what truly fuels their passion: volunteering. Recently, they sold their veterinary practices to focus on what they love most—helping animals and creating unforgettable experiences for fellow veterinary heroes.

Meet Dr. Scott
Scott is a globetrotting vet with a heart for giving back. He runs an ongoing pet sterilization program in Ecuador and regularly hosts veterinarians and vet nurses from around the world to join him in this life-changing work. Scott also sits on the board of Golden Rescue, one of Canada’s largest single-breed rescues. You might recognize him from TV shows like "Dog's Best Friend" and "Animal House-calls" (Animal Planet), or as the resident vet on Global TV’s 'The Morning Show.'

Meet Dr. Audrey
Audrey is a wildlife warrior with a passion for conservation. Since the devastating 2019/2020 Australian bushfires, she’s been deeply involved in rescuing and treating native wildlife. In 2020, she helped design and build a dedicated wildlife hospital within a kangaroo sanctuary. As the superintendent vet of Possumwood Wildlife Hospital, she volunteers regularly to treat countless wildlife patients. Audrey also sits on the board of Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, an organization focused on rehabilitation, conservation, and education. Oh, and if you’ve seen "Bondi Vet," you’ve probably spotted Audrey and her identical twin sister Alison in action!
​
A Shared Vision
Scott and Audrey share a deep love for continuing education, wildlife, community, and travel. Together, they’ve created IVVO to offer veterinary experiences that give back—to communities, to wildlife, and to the incredible people who dedicate their lives to saving animals.
At IVVO, we believe in creating fun, rewarding, and unique experiences that fill your bucket—whether you’re a veterinarian, vet tech, or nurse. Join us, and let’s make a difference together!
