Doctors in Schools Program

Victoria University Secondary College is fortunate to be part of the Department of Education’s Doctors in Secondary Schools Program. 

As part of this program, we have a Doctor and Nurse from IPC Health in Deer Park available to see VUSC students for FREE appointments at school every Monday at the Senior Campus.

Parents of Junior Campus students may also make appointments with the Doctor on Mondays however they must take their child to the Senior Campus. 

What does Doctors in Schools mean for our students?

• It makes primary health care more accessible. 
• It provides support to students through early identification of health problems.
• No cost – this is a free service.

What can the Doctor assist our students with?

• The same services at school as those provided by GP’s in the community
• Physical Health
• Mental Health
• Health advice and support

Appointments can be made in advance via a Teacher or the Wellbeing team. They will book the appointment and advise the student of the date and time. Students are also welcome to drop into the clinic during recess or lunch on Mondays.

If you have any questions regarding the Doctors in Secondary Schools program, please contact the Senior Campus on 8312 0200.
