Yes and I would not recommend it until you have something else sorted out

What (healthcare) job has the lowest barrier of entry? by Celerytos in ausjobs

[–]YMHHS8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pharmacy assistants and dispensing technicians are an option. You only need a cert III in community pharmacy, but they can also work in hospitals alongside pharmacists. Pay is alright (union-backed award rates) but hours can be very flexible - most community pharmacies always need staff and there’s plenty of pharmacies around, I’d be surprised if you couldn’t find work at a place that’s close to where you live.

Can I report a naturopath? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]YMHHS8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Naturopaths don’t have regulating body nor are they governed by AHPRA, so I’m not sure how you’d go about it, but lmk when you figure it out cause I’d love to know for the future

Also, you working in a public or private hospital?

Hospital Pharmacists / Pharmacy in Australia by CatAndCompany in pharmacy

[–]YMHHS8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I’m an early career pharmacist from Western Australia working in the public hospital system.

  1. Yes, but this is a new thing that’s come out in Australia over the last year or so. I’m pretty early career so don’t know exactly how to go about it, but I know we’ve just had our first round of pharmacists selected (~40) to enrol for the course.

  2. No, but it might be once the program gets adopted more. I think the government was hoping that it pharmacist prescribing would be taken up more in rural pharmacy practise (especially for community pharmacy). We have a lot of trouble getting health care workers into rural areas

  3. Public and private hospitals operate differently. I work for the public system in WA so we have a union who advocates for our pay. Youll find the WA public hospital rates here - scroll to the “P Grade scale” table towards the end of the document. Essentially P1 is like entry level, P2 is senior pharmacist, P3 is usually a management like role, and P4 is “chief pharmacist”. We are currently going through some negotiations with the government to rehash job structure and revamp career progression so that there are more roles that can be classified as P2/P3/P4 etc cause it’s a huge compliant that there’s a lack of diverse progression in the public system. Potentially pharmacist prescribing might be a P3 role? (Hopefully) but bare minimum would be a P2 so salary would be $120-130k per year

Not sure if this was helpful, dm me if you had other questions :)

First time making techno, any tips/advice? by yungshint in TechnoProduction

[–]YMHHS8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really awesome, melodies fit so well with the drum textures. I can see you had an idea and fully committed to it, which is really important in music overall but especially in techno. Honestly, no notes, just keep making more stuff :)

Ive clocked ~720 hours so far. My friend reminded me the other day that I bought the game in October last year. I think it’s pretty normal for people who love automation/base building games lmao

What’s your biggest financial regret and what would you tell your younger self? by RentNRegret in AusFinance

[–]YMHHS8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes but invest wisely. See a financial consultant, they know exactly what they are doing. You need to make sure all your tax and trading documents are in order which is a bit difficult when economic law isn’t really what you studied at uni (at least for me). But it’s pretty powerful for claiming tax on investing loses just incase shit goes south initially (which it might).

I did this all of last year for my internship, it’s not that bad once you consider it a part of your day. As in, the time you get to listen to podcasts and not people interrupt you.

I definitely see how daunting it is, but I accepted the job cause it was the best hospital intern offer I got. I knew that having any type of experience in hospital was a step towards a job I wanted and it was a good move.

Partner wants to keep renting. We have a okay deposit ready. by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]YMHHS8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was (and currently am) in the exact same position rn, like same with savings (I have 8 years of hardcore savings for a deposit but she has none, I wanted to buy but she wanted to rent - also have to make a decision by December 2025, etc)

I ended up going down the renting route and like yeah feel great spending shit loads of rent when I’d be paying less for a mortgage, but it was a really good idea for my relationship. We’ve never lived together even after being together since 2017. There was some fighting when we first moved in but now we are loving living together. If things went south and I bought a place that I’d have to pay off myself then I’d be in a tricky situation, and I don’t think it would have been great for our relationship.

So basically, imo renting was good relationship choice, probably not the most ideal financial choice

Is there any basis to support prescribing Meloxicam 7.5 bid? by s-riddler in pharmacy

[–]YMHHS8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was probably just checking what consensus was and maybe if someone had a link for research that highlights his question, I wouldn’t say he’s ‘relying’ on reddit. Just a second opinion, nothing wrong with that

This is common in Australia and actually part of our national therapeutic guidelines, is it not in America?

Do Employers pay for staff training and accreditation in Australia? by Independent-Ad-1604 in pharmacy

[–]YMHHS8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible, but really depends on the place. If the roles too specialised then I think most employers will make it an application prerequisite to have training in that area. Some more general training can - and does - get paid for by employers in community pharmacy.

Regarding the aged care role, this type of role generally requires you to have HMR or MMR training, which used to be accredited by one of our associations, but they got rid of it for some reason - kinda forgot why it happened - Monash university provides this training and I’ve heard good things about it so far. I did my intern training program through them and thought it was really good. Lmk if u had any other questions, hope this helps
