We’re opening a new sterile compounding lab at Priceline Pharmacy Chatswood. It will prepare treatments for patients referred by an established, doctor-led telehealth service. The investment has been made: the equipment, raw materials and third-party testing are funded. A senior compounding technician is already on the team. What we need now is the pharmacist who will lead it.
This is a chance to shape a new sterile operation to standards with a clear pathway to grow the team and your role.
What you’ll lead:
- First 2 months: bring the lab to go-live (most of this is already done and scoped)
- Review and finalise the SOP suite across sterile injections, nasal sprays, topicals, capsules, and oral liquids and powders
- Sign off on cleanroom qualification, equipment validation and calibration
- Confirm BUD and stability parameters and the raw material testing regime
- Approve the supplier and QMS framework, including the approved supplier list, change control, COA verification and import requirements
- Lead the lab to go-live, with real authority over how it’s done
- Ongoing: run and grow it
- Prepare sterile compounded products for referring prescribers
- Lead your technician team and hire as volume scales
- Work daily with the clinical team on prescriptions, clinical queries and order flow
- Own quality, compliance, inventory, supplier relationships and dispatch
- Continuously improve systems against PSA standards, Pharmacy Board guidelines and current USP
What we offer:
- $87.50/hr + super
- $10,000 establishment bonus on go-live - paid at completion of product SOPs
- Up to 10% annual performance bonus
- First-year package of over $220,000 including super
- Pathway to discuss investment in the operation for the right person
- Permanently full-time role. We’re happy to start part‑time (Monday to Thursday) and move to full‑time.
- A funded lab and a technician already in place, so you won’t be building alone
- Clear progression into broader leadership roles as the group expands
- A compliance-first culture: we want this done properly, and you’ll have the authority to make that happen
About you:
- AHPRA-registered pharmacist with sterile compounding experience and accreditation
- Experience commissioning, scaling or managing an aseptic unit is highly regarded. This includes hospital sterile production, oncology or TPN units.
- Strong command of TGA, PSA and aseptic standards, and genuine QA discipline
- Someone who wants to lead a lab, not just work at a bench
