Student Accident/Medical Arrangements

If a student is ill or injured, the College may first contact the student’s parent/guardian to determine the medical attention they feel is appropriate. In an emergency situation, the College may call an ambulance or seek any necessary medical attention on behalf of the student’s parents/guardians.    

Parents/guardians are reminded that DET does not provide personal accident insurance for students.

If a student is injured at school or during a College organised activity, then parents/guardians are responsible for the cost of medical treatment, including ambulance costs. Reasonably low cost accident insurance policies are available from commercial insurers and/or ambulance cover is available from Ambulance Victoria.
