About the Department / Program
Monash Health Pharmacy is a diverse and dynamic team of over 500 professionals. We work across seven hospitals and community settings, delivering best-practice pharmacy services and supporting career development through structured rotations, mentoring, and leadership opportunities.
About the Role
An exciting opportunity exists to join Victoria's largest hospital pharmacy department as a Pharmacy Technician within the Clinical Trials Pharmacy Team at Monash Health.
This is an ongoing full-time position, although part-time applicants may be considered. The role is based at Monash Health Translation Precinct, Clayton.
Supporting more than 400 active clinical trials across a diverse range of medical specialties, our Clinical Trials Pharmacy team plays an important role in the safe management and supply of investigational medicines to patients participating in clinical research.
Clinical Trials Pharmacy offers a unique opportunity to contribute to innovative research while remaining focused on patient care. You'll help ensure patients participating in clinical trials have safe access to investigational medicines and emerging therapies.

- Supporting aseptic preparation activities, including cytotoxic and specialised medicines, following appropriate training and competency assessment.
- Assisting with clinical trial study setup, maintenance and archiving.

With access to structured learning, mentoring and development opportunities, you'll have the opportunity to build your expertise and gain exposure to innovative therapies.
