Where you'll be working
At South Eastern Sydney Local Health District (SESLHD), our vision is "Exceptional Care, Healthier Lives." We are dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of our community and delivering compassionate, high-quality care when it's needed most. Our hospitals, leading tertiary referral and teaching institutions, are recognised for their commitment to clinical excellence, innovation, and patient-centred care across a diverse and dynamic population.

As part of SESLHD, you'll be joining a network of hospitals that provide a wide range of specialised services and support a culture of continuous learning and collaboration.

The role
As a Pharmacist Intern, you will embark on a structured, one-year program designed to build your clinical confidence and deepen your understanding of contemporary hospital pharmacy practice. The program offers rich, hands-on experience through rotations in key specialty areas including medical, surgical, critical care, oncology, and more.

You will be supported throughout the year by experienced preceptors, mentors, and clinical educators. Our program integrates clinical assessments and reflective practice tools to help you continually develop your knowledge, professional judgement, and patient care skills.

Your role will include delivering safe, effective, and evidence-based medication management services across SESLHD hospitals. We aim to offer the opportunity to rotate between sites as part of a structured schedule, giving you exposure to varied hospital environments and pharmacy models of care. You will also have the opportunity to attend tutorials facilitated by other public health facilities.

This is a unique opportunity to grow within a supportive team, contribute meaningfully to patient outcomes, and begin your professional pharmacy career in a leading public health network.
