Become An Els Locum Pharmacist

The ELS and the benefits of helping Rural and Remote Pharmacies in needThe objective of the Emergency Locum Service (ELS) program is to ensure that rural and remote communities retain access to pharmacy services at all times.
The Australian Government understands that Community Pharmacies in rural and remote areas operate with limited numbers of Pharmacists.
Without assistance during emergencies, some Pharmacies in these areas would struggle to undertake dispensing duties effectively.
Raven's Recruitment has been engaged by the Pharmacy Programs Administrator (PPA) to provide the service to all eligible Pharmacies from the 1st of July, 2021, ensuring essential help is available.
We invite you to experience helping Pharmacies in need while traveling to rural and remote locations at short notice, gaining a wealth of knowledge about different cultures and communities.
In the "Your Pharmacy Career" podcast series, many Pharmacists discuss the professional and personal benefits of working in rural and remote Australia.
The ELS provides wonderful and diverse opportunities to experience this first-hand.
Whether you are a professional locum seeking variety or a full-time Pharmacist wanting to assist during your annual leave or career break, any ELS assignment would be a valuable addition to your CV.
Before the introduction of the Emergency Locum Service (ELS), pharmacies in rural and remote areas that could not source a locum pharmacist during unforeseen emergencies, such as sickness or accidents, risked closure.
The ELS was created to support these pharmacies by placing a locum in any location in Australia within 24 hours.
