Every dose given, recorded and accounted for
From the medication chart to the worker’s phone and back to your audit.
Workers see exactly what is due, for whom and when, and missed or refused doses never go unnoticed. The medication chart drives an eMAR on the support worker app, PRN use is followed up for effect, and only workers with a current medication competency can sign for a dose.
Free for 14 days, with rostering, the support worker app, progress notes and NDIS invoicing. Set it up yourself online.
What changes for you
Missed doses are caught on the day
A dose not signed for within its window, or refused, escalates to the team leader straight away instead of surfacing in next month’s audit.
Only competent workers administer
Workers without a current medication competency cannot sign for a dose, so your Practice Standards obligations are enforced at the point of care.
Medication audits from live records
Administration, stock counts, PRN use and medication incidents sit in one place, so audits and reviews run on real records, not paper charts.

Know why every PRN was given and whether it worked
PRN medication needs more than a signature. The worker records the reason, the dose and the time; the app checks the minimum interval and daily maximum from the chart, then prompts for the effect later in the shift. Where a PRN is used as a chemical restraint, it is recorded against the restrictive practice register as well.

Explore Incidents →Questions buyers ask
Do we enter medications ourselves or does the pharmacy?
Your team enters medications from the prescriber’s or pharmacy chart and attaches the chart to the participant record. A second person can check the entry before it goes live.
What happens if a worker without a medication competency is on shift?
They can see the eMAR but cannot sign for a dose. The team leader is alerted so a competent worker can administer, and the gap is visible in your credential reports.
Does it work with Webster-paks?
Yes. Medications supplied in Webster-paks or other blister packs are recorded by pack and slot, and workers sign for the slot they give.
