ASTHMA ACTION PLANS

STUDENTS DIAGNOSED WITH ASTHMA

Parents or carers must provide the school with an Asthma Action Plan completed by the student’s medical practitioner. The plan must outline the student's known triggers and the emergency procedures to be taken in the event of an asthma flare-up or attack.

Parents or carers and the student’s general practitioner (GP) should annually complete or review each student’s Asthma Action Plan.

Asthma action plans can take many forms but should be issued by a medical practitioner and contain the following information:

• the prescribed medication taken and when it is to be administered (for example, on a regular basis, as premedication to exercise or it if the student is experiencing symptoms)
• emergency contact details
• contact details of the student’s medical or health practitioner
• details about deteriorating asthma including signs to recognise worsening symptoms, what to do during an attack or medication to be used.

Visit Asthma Australia for example template asthma action plans that can be used in Victorian schools.
