When to Refer for Medication Support under the NDIS

Referral for medication support may be appropriate when a participant experiences difficulty understanding their medications, following routines, or managing changes.

This may include situations where:

• Medication regimens are complex

• There are frequent changes to prescriptions

• Routines are inconsistent or easily disrupted

• Confidence with medications is low

• Support staff change regularly

• There have been near misses or incidents

Early referral can help reduce risk, build understanding, and support safer, more confident daily medication use.
