Ambulance Policy

Please be aware of the following information as per the Department of Education & Training’s website.

Emergency medical situations

If a student is ill or injured, in an emergency a school may:

call an ambulance or
call for any necessary medical attention on behalf of the student’s parents.

The legal authority to do this arises from the principle of “agency of necessity”. This means that the law recognises that the authority to act on another’s behalf is implied in case of emergency.

An ambulance will always be called in a medical emergency.

Ambulance Cover/Costs

We strongly encourage parents to have up-to-date ambulance cover and also inform parents that they are responsible for any medical expenses such as ambulance costs incurred if their child is injured or requires an ambulance at school, or whilst participating in a school activity.

Department of Education and Training Victoria (DE&T) Policy

Please note as per DE&T policy, the cost of any medical attention or ambulance for a student will be borne by the parent/guardian. Parents are liable for all medical expenses incurred as a result of student injury, including transport costs such as ambulance or air ambulance costs. 

If you have any questions in relation to this policy please contact the College.
