If a student needs short-term medication to be administered at school, such as paracetamol, antibiotic medication, or soothing creams and ointments, the school requires a fully completed Medication Authority Form. Both the AHPRA registered Health Practitioner (including a Medical Practitioner, Pharmacist, Nurse, Dentist) and the parent/guardian need to sign and date the form before providing it to the school. Medication cannot be administered without this completed authority.
