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. 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 Tasmanian placements I fly in from Sydney, with travel and accommodation provided by the pharmacy.
Why Tasmanian pharmacies book Ahmed directly
Tasmania's local locum pool is small, and when cover falls through it's hard to fill — while 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, and I understand the staffing challenges smaller communities face.
Comfortable as sole pharmacist
Confident running the pharmacy solo — the norm in many rural TAS 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.
Fly-in ready
Set up for fly-in placements across Bass Strait. Travel and accommodation are provided by the pharmacy — the standard arrangement for Tasmanian locum cover — and agreed before booking.
