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 the Northern Territory. 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 NT placements I fly in from Sydney, with travel and accommodation provided by the pharmacy.
Why Northern Territory pharmacies book Ahmed directly
Local locum cover is scarce right across the Northern Territory — from Darwin to Alice Springs — 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 the Northern Territory — and I understand the staffing challenges remote communities face.
Comfortable as sole pharmacist
Confident running the pharmacy solo — the norm in many Territory 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 the Territory. Travel and accommodation are provided by the pharmacy — the standard arrangement for NT locum cover — and agreed before booking.

Travel and accommodation for NT bookings
Provided by the pharmacy — agreed before booking
I'm based in Western Sydney and fly to the Northern Territory for locum work by arrangement. For NT placements, flights and accommodation are provided by the pharmacy — the standard arrangement for Territory and interstate locum cover — and everything is agreed up front before the booking is confirmed, so there are no surprises on either side.
