How to access SafeScript NSW as a NSW Health employee

SafeScript NSW is available to NSW Health employees. This includes NSW Health employees who support the Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), including administration staff, registered nurses, and staff working in Justice Health.

Before you register

Before you begin using SafeScript NSW, you will need an invitation link from a prescriber in your clinic, practice, or organisation.

SafeScript NSW uses information held by NSW Health to correctly identify you. The prescriber will need your Stafflink number and your NSW Health email address to add you to the system. This email address should look like this: "example.name@health.nsw.gov.au". Please ensure that these details are up to date.

SafeScript NSW uses your email address to verify your access and set up your account. If you require any assistance verifying your account, please contact Fred IT Technical Help at 1800 776 633.
