Regulatory Compliance in Locum Pharmacy Services: The Necessity of Licensed Agencies
In 2025, compliance with labour hire regulations is more crucial than ever for locum pharmacists and pharmacies. In Australia, using a licensed agency is mandatory to avoid penalties in states such as VIC and QLD. Licensed agencies like Pharmacy SOS provide payroll services, clarify employment status, and ensure compliance, reducing administrative burdens and legal risks. By choosing a licensed agency, both locums and pharmacies can focus on delivering quality healthcare services while maintaining legal protection.
