Improving the safe use of monitored medicines

​What is SafeScript?

SafeScript NSW is computer software that allows prescribers (general practitioners, other medical specialists and nurse practitioners) and pharmacists to access real-time information about a patient’s prescription history for certain high-risk medicines, known as monitored medicines, such as opioids and benzodiazepines.

Access to this information helps prescribers and pharmacists to make safer clinical decisions about their patient’s care.
