Canberra Script
Canberra Script is the ACT’s version of the national real-time prescription monitoring (RTPM) that is part of a national effort to minimise harms associated with monitored medicines. Canberra Script was launched publicly by the Minister for Health on 24 February 2022 to reduce harm and preventable deaths in the ACT community by supporting the safe and effective use of monitored medicines.
Each State and Territory has its own local version of the national RTPM system with core features and functionality to enable national consistency.
It is designed to detect people who are at risk of harm from certain high-risk prescription medicines such as opioids and benzodiazepines.
