After leaving a full-time pharmacy job, I tried locum work as a temporary solution. Four years later, I’m still loving it! I’ve traveled all over Australia, helping in areas with healthcare shortages. Thanks to LocumCo, I’ve rediscovered my passion for pharmacy, and their team feels like family.

Working with LocumCo has been one of the best experiences of my career. Pushpa, Sue, and Reshma ensured I was placed in roles that suited my skills and preferences. Their communication is always prompt and professional, and I’ve never felt like just another locum. I always feel valued and supported by a team that genuinely cares.

I’ve absolutely loved the beautiful locations I’ve been placed in. It’s been a privilege to work with such dedicated staff, including yourself. I really admire your vision for our profession and recognise the vital role LocumCo plays in community pharmacy today. Without us, many pharmacies wouldn’t be able to operate. And without your support, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to explore such amazing places and serve communities far and wide.
