Key Information

If your child has a medical condition, it is important that your school has all relevant information. This includes Authorisation for Administration of Student Medication forms, Medical Action Plans and/or Student Medical Condition Plans before the start of the school year. 

Medical Action Plans and Student Medical Condition Plans

A Medical Action Plan must be completed if the student is known to be at risk of a medical incident due to a diagnosed medical condition. Medical Action Plans for common medical conditions can be found by accessing the peak body website for that condition (e.g. Asthma Australia).

A Student Medical Condition Plan (PDF, 90KB) sets out the adjustments that are needed in the school that assists with the day-to-day health and learning needs of the student as it relates to their medical condition.

Authorisation for Administration of Student Medication Forms

Authorisation for Administration of Student Medication forms (PDF, 207KB) need to be filled out for both prescription and non-prescription medications. You can find blank forms attached below or request them from the school office. Form A is for non-prescription medicine and can be filled in by a parent. Form B is for prescription medicine and needs a GP or pharmacist input. Students needing short-term medication like antibiotics or Panadol must submit these forms before staff can administer them. See our page about Students requiring medication.

All medical forms must be updated yearly (or in-line with peak body recommendations) and signed by the child’s medical practitioner. If the current forms are less than two years old, a letter from your GP can confirm their validity.
