Can I choose medication units to widen my skills?
Release 4 lists both assistance and administration units with different titles.
What does this mean for your study?
Release 4 lists HLTHPS006 Assist clients with medication and HLTHPS007 Administer and monitor medications as electives. The different titles should not be treated as interchangeable permissions.
What should you check next?
Ask which exact unit is offered and whether your workplace can support its assessment. Employer scope, supervision and applicable rules still govern duties. Choosing a medication unit does not independently authorise medication tasks or replace clinical instructions.
