Medication Management Policy and Procedure

An editable NDIS medication management policy and procedure for providers whose workers prompt, assist with or administer medication. It sets the limits of what workers may do and the steps to follow when something goes wrong.

What is inside:

• Four levels of medication support, from prompting to complex administration, with the training and authorisation needed for each
• Responsibilities, informed consent and the Medication Management Plan
• The Six Rights of Medication, including Right Documentation
• Storage, disposal and documentation rules, including how to correct a record
• Four-step medication error response, including the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26
• When a worker must not assist, PRN medication, and when a PRN dose is a chemical restraint
• Allergies, adverse reactions and medication training, with refreshers at least every two years
• Additional requirements for Schedule 8 controlled medicines, including witnessing and shift changeover counts

Good to know: Schedule 8 storage, recording and witnessing rules differ between states and territories. Adapt that section to the law where you deliver supports.
