South West Victoria is a well-established regional area with excellent schools, modern facilities and a strong healthcare network. You're also within easy reach of the Great Ocean Road and Warrnambool coastline - making weekends feel like a getaway, not a recovery.

The Role
You'll work across all core areas of hospital pharmacy, including:
Inpatient and outpatient dispensing
Ward-based clinical services - medication reconciliation and patient counselling
IV additives, cytotoxic therapies and parenteral nutrition
Providing medication advice to medical and nursing teams
This is not a peripheral dispensary-only role - you will be involved in clinical services and multidisciplinary collaboration from early on, with structured support to build confidence.
What You'll Bring
General AHPRA registration
Hospital experience welcomed but not required
Strong communication skills and clinical curiosity
Ideal for early-career pharmacists ready to step beyond community
Salary & Benefits
Victorian public sector award salary
Structured professional development
Predictable weekday roster
Lifestyle shift without permanent metro disconnect
For Melbourne pharmacists wanting hospital experience, improved balance and a more affordable lifestyle - this is a smart strategic move.
