You can also access your communication preferences for SafeScript NSW from your profile page. You can change your preferred phone number and contact email address as well as opt-out of correspondence emails.
By default, you will receive emails from SafeScript NSW for updates and correspondence for approvals you apply for. These emails will be sent to the contact email address.

In the organisation details page, a prescriber can add known users to the organisation they share. NSW Health employees involved in the care of OTP patients will need to be granted access by being linked to organisations.
When a NSW Health employee cannot be found in the system, prescribers will need to send them an invitation to register.
