Subcutaneous Injection Competency Assessment
An editable NDIS subcutaneous injection competency assessment for checking that a support worker can safely give injected medication to a specific participant. A Registered Nurse conducts it initially, annually, after changed needs or after a break of 3 or more months.
What is inside:
- Worker, participant, assessor and delegation details, with AHPRA numbers and assessment type
- Knowledge assessment: rights of medication administration, technique, site rotation, hypoglycaemia and anaphylaxis
- Knowledge of sharps safety, prescriber orders, and insulin storage and handling
- Observed skills: prescription and medication checks, site selection and inspection, hand hygiene and skin preparation
- Needle insertion, injection, immediate sharps disposal and no recapping
- Accurate documentation and a simulated hypoglycaemia response where insulin is used
- Outcome, action plan, reassessment dates and signatures from the assessor, worker and manager
Good to know: the worker must be rated satisfactory on every item before working independently, and delegation is issued only once competency is confirmed.
- Reviewed against the current NDIS Rules, Practice Standards and Commission guidance
- Editable DOCX with a placeholder legend, so you enter your details once
