These workers can be expected to flexibly assume a variety of job roles and undertake a broad range of tasks either individually or as a member of a multidisciplinary team.
This qualification addresses the specific legislative responsibilities of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Health Practitioners and is required for national registration with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Practice Board of Australia.

Administration of Medications
Students looking to undertake the training program should be aware of legislative limitations and workplace policy or procedural requirements in relation to the administration of medications. This training program includes the delivery of two core units of competency that address performance evidence in relation to Administering Medications and Supporting with the Safe Use of Medicines. To ensure all students have the opportunity to gain competency in the knowledge and skills required for these units AHCSA attempts to fully replicate the resources, environment and time productivity pressures associated with these activities within its simulated learning environment. Students looking to go on to register with AHPRA must maintain current knowledge about the scope of practice of their role with regards to medicines within the State or Territory they intend to practice.
