About this program

This industry recognised/non-accredited course is designed for Disability Support Workers, or aged care, care workers who are needing to refresh their knowledge on the rules and regulations relating to assisting clients with medication.

“It was good to refresh my knowledge of medications as it is such a big part of my job now.”

This non-accredited course applies to individuals working in the health and community services such as Aged Care Workers, Community Care Workers, Disability Support Workers, Personal Care Workers and Respite Care Workers who wish to develop the knowledge and skills in supporting people to self-administer medication and complete medication documentation, according to the relevant Federal and state/territory legislation, regulations, codes or practice and workplace policies and procedures. The course content has been guided by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and the WA HACC Program’s Medication Policy Framework and Guidelines.

Students will also develop an understanding of the various forms of medication, the different modes medication can be administered as well as the characteristics of several commonly used medications, including both prescribed and over the counter medication.

Our clinical nurse educators are available via email for support and direction to students completing this program.
