Building a Culture of Medication Safety in the NDIS

Medication safety is not created by policies alone. It is built through understanding, communication, and shared responsibility.

A culture of medication safety involves participants, families, support workers, coordinators, and health professionals all having a clear understanding of roles, boundaries, and expectations. It means valuing education, encouraging questions, recognising concerns early, and reinforcing safe practices in daily life.

Medication support contributes to this culture by building literacy, strengthening routines, and supporting confidence, helping safety become part of everyday practice rather than a reactive response to incidents.
