The Assist Clients with Medication course is a nationally recognised program that equips frontline staff with the knowledge and practical skills to confidently and safely support clients with their medications.
Whether care is delivered at home, in the community, or in residential settings, this training ensures your team meets regulatory requirements while providing high-quality, person-centred support.
By completing the course, staff gain a recognised unit of competency that reduces organisational risk, enhances client safety, and strengthens workforce capability. It’s a practical investment that supports compliance and builds trust with clients, families, and stakeholders who depend on your organisation for safe, quality care.
Supporting clients with medication is a core responsibility in health, aged care, and disability settings. This nationally accredited training gives your staff the skills and confidence to do this safely and in compliance with legal and organisational requirements — reducing risk, improving outcomes, and enhancing service quality.
Without training, staff may inadvertently make errors in dosage, documentation, or handling of medications, which can lead to serious consequences for the client and potential liability for your organisation. This course ensures your team is equipped to follow correct procedures and respond appropriately to any issues that arise.
