Medication Management

Nurse-led medication management for NDIS participants in Melbourne. From daily administration and subcutaneous injections to side-effect monitoring and prescriber coordination, our registered nurses ensure safe, reliable medication care — available 24/7 including public holidays.

What Is Medication Management?

Medication management is a clinical nursing service that goes beyond simply reminding someone to take their tablets. It involves a registered nurse administering medication directly, monitoring for side effects and therapeutic response, and coordinating with GPs and specialists to ensure the medication regime is safe and effective.

Many NDIS participants have complex medication needs — multiple medications taken at different times, medications that require injection, or medications with significant side effects that need clinical monitoring. Some participants may also have difficulty swallowing, understanding instructions, or recognising adverse reactions on their own.

At Evia Health, our registered nurses manage all aspects of medication care. This includes administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, monitoring blood glucose levels where applicable, liaising with prescribers about medication changes, and — where safe and appropriate — training support workers to administer routine medications under RN authority.

How We Deliver This

Administration

Administration of oral medications, topical treatments, subcutaneous injections, eye and ear drops, and other prescribed medications — following clinical protocols and your individualised care plan.

Monitoring

Ongoing monitoring for side effects, therapeutic response, and clinical indicators such as blood glucose levels. Early identification of adverse reactions and timely escalation to prescribers.

Medication Reviews

Liaising with GPs, specialists, and pharmacists to review medication regimes, simplify where possible, and ensure all medications work safely together.

Delegated Care

Where safe and appropriate, training support workers in routine medication administration under RN authority — with competency assessment and ongoing supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between medication prompting and medication management?

Medication prompting means reminding someone to take their medication — the person takes it themselves. Medication management is a clinical service where a nurse administers medication directly, monitors for side effects, and coordinates with prescribers. It is required when a participant cannot safely manage their own medication or needs injections, complex regimes, or clinical monitoring.

Can a nurse give subcutaneous injections at home?

Yes. Our registered nurses can administer subcutaneous injections in your home as part of your care plan. This includes medications such as insulin, blood thinners, and other prescribed injectable medications. Administration follows clinical protocols with appropriate documentation.

Can support workers be trained to give medication?

In some cases, support workers can be trained to administer routine medications under the authority of a registered nurse. Our RNs assess whether delegation is appropriate, provide training and competency assessment, and maintain ongoing supervision. This is only done when it is safe and suitable for the participant's needs.
