Medicines such as opioids and benzodiazepines can cause serious harm if taken in high doses or combined with other medicines. SafeScript NSW helps healthcare professionals make safer prescribing and dispensing decisions by showing important information about these medicines.

The system also gives prescribers access to key patient information held by NSW Health, helping them meet legal requirements when prescribing or supplying high-risk medicines.

Registration is quick, and online training is available for users wanting to get started.
