Student Medical Condition Management Plans  

It is important that each year we are liaising with parents and carers to ensure that students medical plans are up to date. 

All student medical plans require yearly checking and updating. 

If your child has a medical plan, please check their Compass to review the most up to date documentation. If there are any changes that need to be made, please email firstaid@nhs.vic.edu.au
