Career Opportunities

To be successful as a pharmacist you’ll have a natural interest in people’s health and wellbeing, sciences, and interacting with people. The ability to work without supervision and with a high degree of accuracy under pressure is essential, as is a willingness to develop high-level problem-solving skills. You'll be the kind of person who is motivated to take on an intellectual challenge, and have a strong interest in research. You’ll need to be meticulous, accurate and results-driven.

Pharmacists are the medicine experts in a multidisciplinary healthcare team. With new therapeutic developments and expanding clinical roles, pharmacists have more career options than ever before, in settings across:

• Hospitals
• Local pharmacies
• GP practices
• Community services
• Aged care settings
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Defence services
• Regulatory bodies
• Compounding or critical care services
• Infectious disease services 
• Academia and research

Graduates of the UniSA Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours) can apply for provisional registration with the Pharmacy Board of Australia. To become a registered pharmacist, you’ll need to undertake the Pharmacy Intern Training Program (ITP) through UniSA or another accredited Pharmacy ITP.
