Meet Our Team
Dr Lindsay Hay
Founder – BVSc MVS MANZCVS
Read Bio
After an incredible 50-year career in veterinary medicine, including 40 years as the founder of Baulkham Hills Veterinary Hospital, Dr Lindsay has retired.
For four decades, Lindsay has been a trusted veterinarian, mentor, and friend to generations of local families and their pets. His dedication, compassion, and commitment to the Baulkham Hills community have left a lasting impact, and we are deeply grateful for everything he has contributed over the years.
While Lindsay will be greatly missed, the experienced team you know and trust will remain at Baulkham Hills Veterinary Hospital, continuing to provide the same high standard of compassionate care while carrying forward the legacy he has built.
We wish Lindsay a long, happy, and well-deserved retirement and thank him for the remarkable difference he has made in the lives of so many people and pets.

Lyn Shephard
Practice Manager
Read Bio
Lyn grew up in the area and began her career at BHVH as a nurse between the ages of 18 and 25, where she developed most of her general nursing skills. She then moved into emergency nursing in the Inner City, working evenings for four years before stepping into a leadership role as Practice Manager for a group of hospitals. During this time, she also completed studies in HR management and went on to serve in that role for 25 years.
Seeking a change of pace, Lyn took a year off to focus on her kids, family, and friends, while also working casually at a friend’s florist.
Now, 26 years later, Lyn has come full circle—returning to BHVH as their very first Practice Manager, right back in her local community.
