Administering Medication at School
Medication Update - Administration of Medication Procedures from MACS
If your child needs to take medication during school hours, a Medication Authority Form needs to be completed annually. Written advice via a Medication Authority Form is required for all medications (prescription AND over-the-counter)
The Medication Authority Form is to be signed by parent/guardian and by the medical practitioner. This applies to all students requiring medication to be administered throughout the school day or during school activities.
Students with Anaphylaxis must have an Individual Anaphylaxis management plan (IAMP) and ASCIA plan
Medical Authority Form information required:
- signed by registered medical authority
- signed by parent
- medication must be provided to school in its original packaging
- medication must include name of student
- medication expiry date must be visible
- medication storage instructions included
- medication administration instructions listed on packaging
Families with students who have medication inlcuding ventolin at school will soon receive an email with the Medication Authority Form to be filled in and signed by a registered medical practitioner.
Thank you for your support on this important matter, keeping all our children safe.
