Student Medical Management 

As part of a school’s registration, student medical conditions, medications and management plans must be monitored and updates maintained. Recent Medical Management Policy and procedure updates have been implemented. No medication can be administered without the completed authority. 

Ongoing medication for any diagnosed condition

For students who require ongoing medication for any diagnosed condition to be administered at school, a medically approved Medical Management Plan and a Medication Authority form will need to be completed by a registered AHPRA Medical Practitioner (this is not a pharmacist). Eg ADHD, Epilepsy, ASD, Eczema, Cystic Fibrosis, Cerebral Palsy. Both forms will need to be fully completed, signed and dated by a AHPRA Medical Practitioner as well as the parent/guardian, then provided to school.

Medication Authority Form

All  Medical Management Plans and Medication Authority forms are required to be reviewed by the family and health practitioner annually or if the student’s health care needs change, and provided to school. 

It is advised when you attend a health practitioner for any illness your child is suffering which may require medication to be administered at school, you take a Medical Management Plan form and a Medication Authority form with you to your appointment and get them completed and signed on the day (forms can be found on our school website). The school cannot administer any medication without these forms being completed. 

All medication provided to the school is to be in the original packaging showing the expiry date. If the required forms are not provided to the school no medication will be held at school or dispensed to your child and parents will need to attend school and administer medications. No verbal or written/email consent will be accepted.
