Priority Health Care Training

If you completed your medication training more than 12 months ago, this is for you. ⏰

The NDIS Commission recommends annual refresher training for any worker who assists with medications.

Why?

📋 Best practice changes (storage rules, documentation standards, common adverse drug interactions)
📋 Memory fades, even for the most experienced carers
📋 Auditors and employers are increasingly asking for current evidence of training

A refresher is not about doubting your skills. It's about staying current.

Our HLTHPS006 Assist with Medication course works as both a first-time qualification and a refresher unit, delivered fully online and self-paced.

Imagine writing this note to yourself, six weeks from today. 💌

Dear me,

You finally enrolled. You were tired and you weren't sure you had the time. You started anyway.

You studied for 20 minutes here, half an hour there. Some nights on the couch. One module on the bus.

You passed. You got the email. You almost cried at your kitchen bench.

The next medication round felt different. You actually felt qualified to be there.

Your supervisor noticed. Your clients noticed. You noticed.

And you wished you'd done it sooner.

✨ The version of you in six weeks is closer than you think.

Enrol today. Future you is waiting. 👆

She held my hand a little tighter than usual. 🫶

Then she said, 'You're so good at this. Thank you for being careful.'

And I had to look out the window because I didn't want her to see me get teary.

If you've had a moment like that, you know what your work is really about.

It's not the timesheets.
It's not the rosters.
It's the trust.

💙 Your clients trust you with their bodies, their routines, and their dignity.
💙 Honouring that trust looks like showing up trained, current, and sure of what you're doing.
💙 The HLTHPS006 Assist with Medication credential is one of the clearest ways to do that.

Tell us about a client who changed how you saw your work. We'd love to read your story. 👇

You scroll LinkedIn, or the team WhatsApp, and someone has just posted their Statement of Attainment. 🎓

You smile, you tap the like button. Genuinely happy for them.

And then there's that quiet little voice:

🌀 'I should have done that already.'
🌀 'How did they find the time?'
🌀 'I've been doing this longer than they have.'

Hear this: that voice isn't telling you that you're behind. It's telling you that you're ready.

Ready to stop putting it off.
Ready to claim the credential you've already earned in practice.
Ready to be the one your colleagues tag in the next group chat post.

The HLTHPS006 Assist with Medication course consists of theory online, self-paced, and 3 hours of face to face practical assessments, designed around people who already work full-time.

It's your turn. Start this week. 👆

It's 3am. You're staring at the ceiling. 🌙

Did I write that medication note properly?
Was she allergic to that one? I'm sure I checked the chart. I think I checked.
Did I give the second tablet, or just the first?

If this sounds familiar, please hear this:

💙 You are not careless. You are not slipping.
💙 You are a person who carries the weight of your work, even off the clock.
💙 The carers who lose sleep are almost always the most diligent ones.

But you don't have to carry that weight alone or untrained.

The HTLHPS006 Assist with Medication course gives you a framework, a checklist, and a credential. So you can go to bed knowing you did the right thing, and trust the system to back you up.

Drop a 💙 if you've had a 3am like this.

Documentation isn't paperwork. It's protection. 📝

When you write a clean medication entry, you protect:

🛡️ Your client (a clear record of what they were given and when)
🛡️ Your team (the next worker on shift knows exactly where things stand)
🛡️ Yourself (an audit trail that proves you did the right thing)

Every entry should include:

🕐 Date and time of the round
👤 Client name and identifier
💊 Medication name, dose, and route
✅ Outcome (taken, refused, withheld, missed)
✍️ Your signature or initials

If you're not sure what good documentation looks like, our HLTHPS006 Assist with Medication course walks you through it with real examples.

Tag a colleague who needs the reminder. 👇

Most medication errors are not dramatic. They're quiet, small, and preventable. ⚠️

Here are the 5 we see most often:

🕐 Wrong time, doses given outside the prescribed window
❌ Skipped dose, the round gets interrupted and the dose is forgotten
👥 Wrong client, two clients with similar names or similar packs
📝 Poor documentation, the dose is given but not signed off
👀 Missed side effect, the worker didn't know what to watch for

Every one of these is preventable with the right training and the right systems.

The HLTHPS006 Assist with Medication course gives you both: knowledge of the risks, and a framework to prevent them.

Save this and share it with your team. 📌

After a medication round, your job isn't done. 👀

Watching for side effects is one of the most important parts of your role, and it's a skill you build with training.

Here are 4 categories to keep an eye on:

🩹 Skin: rash, flushing, unusual sweating
🤢 Digestive: nausea, vomiting, sudden stomach pain
😴 Mood and alertness: unusual drowsiness, confusion, irritability
🌬️ Breathing: shortness of breath, wheeze, throat swelling

If you notice any of these signs and symptoms after medication administration, escalate it as per your workplace protocol. Ambulance, Pharmacist, GP to get the right help immediately.

The HLTHPS006 Assist with Medication course teaches you exactly what to record and who to escalate to.

Tag a teammate who should see this. 👇

If you've been hovering over the enrol button but feel unsure what's actually in the course, here's the rundown. 📚

The Assist with Medication unit (HLTHPS006) covers six core areas:

📦 Medication basics, common forms and routes
✅ The 6 Rights of medication administration
🔍 The legal difference between prompting, assisting, and administering
🌡️ Safe storage, handling, and disposal
📝 Documentation and incident reporting
⚠️ Spotting and responding to adverse reactions

It's a combination of online theory and face to face practical assessments. Every module is built around real scenarios you'll recognise from your shifts.

And once you finish, you walk away with a nationally recognised Statement of Attainment.

Save this so you can come back to it. 📌

Will it be too hard?
Will it take too long?
Will it actually make a difference?
