Located in the Aboriginal community of Woorabinda, just 175 km south-west of Rockhampton, the Woorabinda MPHS is on the lookout for a Senior Pharmacist who likes variety, responsibility, and meaningful work.

You’ll lead and shape high-quality pharmaceutical services across a true all-rounder health service — supporting hospital, emergency, aged care, community health, mental health, chronic disease and renal dialysis services. No two days look the same, and your expertise genuinely matters.

You’ll need a recognised Pharmacy degree and registration (or eligibility) with Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA).

Best part? Accommodation is provided, so you can focus on the job, the community, and the experience — not the housing hunt. Big scope, strong team, and work that makes a difference.
