About

Ahmed Madhloom — AHPRA-Registered Locum Pharmacist

I'm an AHPRA-registered pharmacist (registration PHA0002477524) based in Western Sydney, with over 15 years in healthcare and 7 years of community pharmacy practice across metropolitan, regional, rural and remote Australia, including previous work in Queensland. I work with pharmacy owners and managers as a direct-booking locum — no agency, no middleman — covering high-volume dispensing, vaccinations, Webster checking, nursing home services and opioid treatment programs, and I'm fully comfortable running a pharmacy as sole pharmacist. For Queensland placements I travel for multi-day and multi-week blocks, with travel and accommodation provided by the pharmacy, and I speak English and Arabic.

Direct booking · No agency fees

Why rural & remote QLD pharmacies book Ahmed directly

Finding a locum pharmacist in rural or remote Queensland is hard — local cover is scarce and agencies add cost and delay. I work directly with pharmacy owners and managers, so you deal with the pharmacist who actually turns up.

Direct booking, no middleman

No agency and no agency fees. You book directly, I invoice the pharmacy directly plus GST and superannuation (ABN 33 902 711 850).

Rural & remote experience

I've supported pharmacies across metropolitan, regional, rural and remote Australia — including previous work in Queensland — and I understand rural pharmacy staffing challenges.

Comfortable as sole pharmacist

Confident running the pharmacy solo — the norm in many rural QLD stores — with high-volume dispensing experience for busier sites.

Registered & insured

AHPRA-registered pharmacist (PHA0002477524) with PDL professional indemnity insurance — credentials available on request.

Professional and reliable

Clear communication before the shift, dependable cover during it, and the standards of care your patients and team expect.

Common questions

Queensland locum pharmacist FAQs

Do you provide locum pharmacist cover in Queensland?
Yes. I'm an AHPRA-registered locum pharmacist based in Western Sydney and available for Queensland locum work by arrangement. My focus is rural, regional and remote QLD, where local cover is hardest to find. I've previously worked in Queensland and cover planned leave, extended placements and staffing emergencies.

Do you travel to rural or remote QLD?
Yes — rural and remote Queensland is my main focus, whether that's an Outback town like Mount Isa or Longreach or a smaller rural community. I have experience in regional, rural and remote pharmacy settings, I'm comfortable working as sole pharmacist, and placements work especially well as multi-day or multi-week blocks with travel and accommodation provided by the pharmacy.

Who arranges travel and accommodation for QLD shifts?
The pharmacy. For Queensland and other interstate placements, travel and accommodation are arranged and covered by the pharmacy and agreed before the booking is confirmed — the standard arrangement for rural and remote locum cover.

Are you available for Brisbane pharmacies?
Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast are usually well served by local locums, so South East Queensland isn't my main focus — but if you're stuck and can't find cover, get in touch. Bookings are by arrangement on the same direct, no-agency basis.

What rate do you charge for QLD locum shifts?
Rates are discussed directly and depend on location, workload, timing and shift requirements. For QLD bookings, the rate plus travel and accommodation arrangements are agreed with you before the booking is confirmed. I invoice the pharmacy directly plus GST and superannuation.

Can pharmacies book you directly?
Yes — that's exactly how I work. There's no agency and no middleman, so pharmacy owners and managers deal directly with me by phone, WhatsApp or email. Invoicing is direct, plus GST and super (ABN 33 902 711 850).

What dispensing software are you familiar with?
FRED, FRED Next, Z Dispense, Dispense Works, BestMed, MedPoint, WebsterCare, Vizen, MethDA and Strongroom. If your Queensland pharmacy runs something else, I adapt quickly to new systems.

Are you comfortable working as sole pharmacist?
Yes. I regularly work as sole pharmacist and can manage high-volume dispensing, vaccinations, Webster checking and opioid treatment program dosing independently — which suits many regional, rural and remote Queensland pharmacies.
