This nationally recognised skill set is designed for support workers in aged care, disability, and community settings who are required to assist clients with medication. This course provides the essential knowledge and hands-on skills to support clients in safely self-administering medication, in line with current legislation and best practice. You’ll learn how to recognise healthy body systems through basic anatomy and physiology, prepare for and provide medication assistance including checking medication charts and confirming client identity, support clients during self-administration, and complete accurate documentation while identifying and reporting any concerns.
This skill set can also contribute towards qualifications such as CHC33021 Certificate III in Individual Support and CHC43121 Certificate IV in Disability Support.
At All Health Training we’re dedicated to inclusivity. We embrace access and equity principles, and we invite individuals with disabilities and from First Nations communities to apply. We believe in the strength of diversity and are here to support every learner in reaching their potential
