Supporting participants with day-to-day management of medication
Under the NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme), participants are provided funding for support with the administration, monitoring and management of medication. As a registered NDIS provider, we have trained nurses and support staff to deliver in-home nursing care to participants with their medical needs covered under the scheme.
What is Medication Management?
Many people with disabilities may need regular help with the administration and management of medications, including assistance to take medications on time and help to find tablets or take them out of packets. For such support, NDIS has provisions for funding for eligible participants.
Who may need it?
NDIS participants who have been advised prescription or non-prescription medications to prevent, treat or cure diseases and need support with medication management can apply for funding under the scheme.
Medication Management Support Under the NDIS
If you’re wondering whether your Medication Management support needs are funded by the NDIS or how a trained worker can help you, contact us today.
Medication Management is covered under the “Provision of Supports Environment” of the NDIS Practice Standards, ensuring that participants have access to support from qualified providers who can expertly administer, store and manage medications while ensuring there are no errors and incidents.
NHCH has workers who can help you effectively manage your medication needs, including reminders to take medications on time, help with the administration of medications, management of high-risk drugs, complex medication assistance, creating a medication plan with the help of your doctor, and monitoring side effects, among others.

Trusted & Experienced
With a strong reputation for care-driven services, we are one of the top providers of high-intensity personal assist services.
The Regional Assessment Service will work with you to develop a personalised home support plan tailored directly to your needs. Assessors send a ‘referral for service’ to appropriate providers, such as Newcastle and Hunter Community Health, to let them know you are a new client and would like to engage their services. The provider will contact you to make further arrangements.
Alternatively, if you would like to visit or speak to a service provide to decide if they are the right fit for you, a ‘referral code’ can be sent which allows them to view your client record. The provider will review your identified needs and determine how they can assist. You then make the final decision on whether or not to engage their services.
Our nurses are familiar with the administration and management of a variety of medications, including tablets, capsules, pastilles or lozenges, oral liquids, wafers or melts, topical skin preparations, nasal drops or sprays, inhalants, eye and ear drops, and transdermal patches.
