Australian pharmacy recruitment · fixed fee, never a percentage
We fill the roles a pharmacy cannot legally trade without.
Run by people who manage a national network of pharmacies — so we know the role, the town and what the job is actually worth before we advertise it.

Permanent, locum, intern, working partner or sponsored from overseas. Fixed fee, three-month replacement guarantee.
→For pharmacistsI am looking for a role
Registered in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland or Canada. Employed roles, and working-partner pathways most agencies never advertise.
→The fee
A percentage fee gets bigger the more you pay your pharmacist.
Ours does not move. Drag the package and watch what the market charges to fill the same vacancy.
Agency fee on a package of
$110,000On a $110,000 package, the gap between the cheapest and the dearest percentage quote you will be given is $16,500 — for filling the same vacancy.
The dashed line is not to scale — our figure is not published. What it shows is that it does not move: the same number on a $60,000 package and a $160,000 one, quoted in writing before we start.
Where we recruit
Six registers with a short pathway. A supported route for everyone else.
More than half of new Australian pharmacist registrations now come from overseas. A pharmacist registered in New Zealand, the UK, Ireland, Canada or the United States reaches Australian registration on a short pathway with no OPRA examination and no internship, and meets the English standard on their qualification alone. Pharmacists from everywhere else come through OPRA and a supervised internship with an accredited program. It is a longer road, and we support candidates along it.

For owners
Planning to step back? Find your successor in confidence.
If you are looking for a pharmacist to buy in, earn in or take over, we find them quietly. Your pharmacy is described by town or region only, and the numbers stay behind an NDA.
Ownership
Want to own a pharmacy one day? Start regional.
In a country town, a working partnership can put ownership within reach on a pharmacist’s salary, years before it would be in a capital city.
