Looking for a pharmacy role with no weekends, no late nights, and real work-life balance?

Join Serco’s ADF Health Services team at Lavarack Health Centre and enjoy a unique opportunity to work in a structured, supportive environment where your focus is purely on patient care — not retail targets.

We’re seeking an experienced Pharmacist to join our team on a casual basis, working Monday to Friday only.

  • Modern, well-equipped facility on a major Defence base
  • Free parking & uniforms provided
  • Access to wellbeing support and lifestyle discounts

About the role
In this position, you’ll play a key role in supporting the health and readiness of Australian Defence Force personnel by delivering high-quality pharmaceutical services.

You will:

  • Dispense medications and manage pharmaceutical inventory
  • Provide advice to patients on the safe and effective use of medications
  • Deliver pharmaceutical support across medical and dental services
  • Offer technical guidance and training to healthcare staff
  • Work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary healthcare team

About Lavarack Health Centre
Located at Lavarack Barracks in Townsville, the largest Army base in Australia, the health centre supports approximately 8,000 personnel.

You’ll be working in a comprehensive healthcare facility offering services including medical, dental, physiotherapy, mental health, and pharmaceutical care, alongside a 24/7 inpatient ward.

This is a structured clinical environment with standard hours of 0700–1630 Monday to Friday, giving you consistency and balance.

What you’ll bring

  • Current, unrestricted registration as a Pharmacist with AHPRA
  • Minimum 2 years’ post internship experience within the last 5 years
  • Current CPR (HLTAID009) certification
  • Commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach
  • A high level of professionalism and ethical practice
  • Australian Citizenship (required for Baseline Security Clearance)

Why Serco
At Serco, you’ll be part of a global organisation supporting over 12,000 professionals across the Asia-Pacific region, delivering essential services across defence, healthcare, and community services.

In partnership with Bupa, we provide integrated healthcare services to ADF personnel across 45+ locations nationwide — and we’re proud of the meaningful impact our teams make every day.
