Early life and education
Brown was born and grew up in the suburbs of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, where his father was a local vet. He attended Merewether Heights Public School and Merewether High School.[3] He graduated from The University of Sydney with First Class Honours in Veterinary Science in 2001.[4][5]
Career
After graduating from university, Brown began work at a clinic in Sydney's North Shore. He travelled to remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory to treat animals.[6][7][8] In 2008, he also began writing a column called "Pet Page" in Woman’s Day magazine and was interviewed on radio stations Triple M and Vega FM.
In 2008, he began Bondi Vet on Network Ten, a factual television program that chronicles his life and work at a veterinary clinic at Bondi Junction. The series is now being shown on Saturday mornings in the United States, by the CBS network, under the title of Dr. Chris: Pet Vet, with broadcasting having begun in that country on 28 September 2013.[9][10]
In 2010, Brown became a regular guest panelist on Network Ten's talk show The Project and he served as a fill-in host for Charlie Pickering before Pickering left.
In 2012, Brown began co-hosting Network Ten's lifestyle show The Living Room with Amanda Keller, Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois. Brown presents the travel and pet segments on the program.[11]
On 1 February 2015, Brown began co-hosting the Australian version of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! with Julia Morris, also on Network Ten. He continued to present the series during its second season from 31 January 2016, again alongside Morris.
