IMPORTANT INFORMATION MAF-Medical Administer Form

Dear Parents,

Please read the following information about the procedure in relation to administering medication to your child/ren.

I have attached the relevant form which are required to be completed by your Medial Practitioner.

This procedure began at the beginning of 2024 which means unless we have this paperwork NO medication can be administered by staff.

If there is no form you will need to come in and administer the medication yourself.

Once we have the form we are obliged to only administer medication listed on the form. We are not allowed to give the medication at any other time or another dosage other than what is on the form.

Whenever you go to the Doctor make sure to have the form with you in case they prescribe medication in which case get them to fill in the MAF also. It would be a good idea to scan it to yourself so you can access it from your phone at any time. This is what we have received from our head office.

Parents / guardians / carers are responsible for providing a Medication Authority Form (MAF) to the school via a hard copy form that has been sent home containing the medication/s to be administered, and the medication requirements (dosage, method of administration, frequency, times of day, storage) at the time of enrolment or when notified of the required administration of medication in the school environment.
Medication must not be administered to a child being educated and cared for unless the MAF is authorised by an Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) registered medical / health practitioner except in exceptional circumstances.
The principal or delegate may agree to proceed with a MAF signed by only the parent/ guardian/carer in exceptional circumstances, for the administration of over-the-counter medication at school or during off-site activities such as camps.
The principal or delegate is responsible for ensuring that a MAF is received and updated when the medical advice regarding the medication method, timing, and dosage changes.
Parents / guardians / carers are required to provide the school with the medication in its original packaging, within the expiry, with the name of the student (for prescription medication) and outlines instructions for administration/application of the medication.
No over the counter or prescribed medication is to be administered beyond the instructions on the original packaging unless written recommendation is provided by an AHPRA Registered Medical Practitioner.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. If you need any clarification feel free to contact the office.

I have attached form for you.
