n
Are you looking for a pharmacy role where you can get to know your patients, develop your clinical skills and make a real difference in a regional community?

We are looking for a pharmacist to join our team in Kyogle, in the beautiful Northern Rivers of NSW.
n
This is a genuinely diverse role combining community pharmacy practice with clinical pharmacy services, including Home Medicines Reviews (HMRs), Residential Medication Management Reviews (RMMRs) and aged care services.
n
It is an opportunity to step beyond the traditional community pharmacy model and build a career that combines hands-on pharmacy with meaningful clinical work.
n
Why this role is different
n
You won't be spending every day behind the dispensary counter.

Your role will have a strong mix of:
n
n
- Community pharmacy practice within a small medical-centre pharmacy
n
- Home Medicines Reviews (HMRs)
n
- Residential Medication Management Reviews (RMMRs)
n
- Clinical pharmacy services in residential aged care
n
- Medication reviews and optimisation
n
- Working with GPs, nurses and other healthcare professionals
n
- Supporting patients in their homes and within the local community
n
- Rural and community healthcare initiatives
n
- Health promotion, preventative care and healthy ageing
n
n
You'll have the prospect to develop strong clinical relationships with patients and local healthcare providers, while still enjoying the variety and community connection that comes with working in pharmacy.
n
What you can expect
n
This is a role for someone who wants variety, autonomy and genuine professional engagement.
n
Depending on your experience and interests, your work may include:
n
n
- Dispensing and clinical services within the community pharmacy
n
- Medication counselling and optimisation
n
- Conducting HMRs and RMMRs
n
- Identifying and resolving medication-related problems
n
- Supporting deprescribing and appropriate medication use
n
- Medication management in aged care
n
- Liaising with GPs, nurses and care teams
n
- Supporting patients with medication adherence and health literacy
n
- Providing pharmacist-led care in the community
n
- Contributing to new and innovative models of rural healthcare
n
n
There is scope to build the role around your strengths and interests as your clinical experience develops.
n
Professional development
n
If you're interested in expanding your clinical skills, we will support you.
n
For the right pharmacist, we can provide:
n
n
- Funded HMR accreditation training
n
- Supported pathway to RMMR/aged care practice
n
- Mentoring from experienced clinical/credentialed pharmacists
n
- Support to develop your clinical review skills
n
- Opportunities to expand your role into aged care and consultant pharmacy
n
- Opportunities to develop leadership and service-delivery skills
n
n
Whether you're an experienced pharmacist or an early-career pharmacist looking to broaden your experience, you'll have the opportunity to grow professionally.
n
Relocation & lifestyle
n
We understand that moving to a regional area is a big decision, so we want to make the transition as easy as possible.
n
We offer
n
n
- $10,000 relocation assistance
n
- Accommodation available to rent if required, including accommodation suitable for a pharmacist and family
n
- Flexible working arrangements where practical
n
- A supportive team environment
n
- A genuine opportunity to establish yourself in a regional community
n
n
Why Kyogle?
n
Kyogle is a beautiful regional town in the Northern Rivers of NSW, surrounded by rainforest, national parks, farmland and some of the best natural scenery the region has to offer.
n
It's a place where you can enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle while still being within easy reach of larger centres.
n
Brisbane and the Gold Coast are approximately 2 hours away, while Ballina, Byron Bay and Lismore are also easily accessible.
n
Kyogle offers
n
n
- A relaxed regional lifestyle
n
- Affordable housing compared with many coastal areas
n
- A friendly and welcoming community
n
- Excellent access to nature, national parks and outdoor activities
n
- A great environment for families
n
- The opportunity to become genuinely connected to the community you serve
n
n
Who are we looking for?
n
We're looking for a pharmacist who is:
n
n
- Registered with AHPRA
n
- Passionate about patient care
n
- Interested in developing their clinical skills
n
- Comfortable working independently and as part of a team
n
- Interested in aged care and medication management
n
- Keen to build relationships with patients and local healthcare professionals
n
- Open to living and working in a regional community
n
n
Experience in HMRs, RMMRs or aged care is highly regarded but not essential.
n
If you're an experienced pharmacist looking for a change, or an early-career pharmacist looking for an opportunity to develop beyond traditional community pharmacy, we'd love to hear from you.
n
A career with purpose
n
This is more than a job in a regional pharmacy.
n
It's an opportunity to combine community pharmacy, clinical practice and aged care, while living in one of the most beautiful parts of NSW.
n
You will have the opportunity to develop professionally, build meaningful relationships with patients and contribute to better healthcare for people living in regional communities.
