Medication Authorisation Procedure 

Holy Family Catholic School is committed to supporting students suffering from minor ailments & illnesses with the administration of prescribed medication to assist with their recovery or ongoing maintenance. The school will ensure that prescribed medication is administered in a manner that protects both the staff members and the students. 

Holy Family Catholic School must obtain written advice via its Medication Authorisation Form for any medication to be administered by the school. Parents/guardians should complete the form in consultation with the student’s medical/health practitioner to ensure that the medication is warranted. Medication of any type cannot be administered without the parents/guardians completing the school’s Medication Authorisation Form.

Students are not permitted to have medication in their school bags. All medication including asthma medication must be handed to the office. Please see our website for more information. https://www.hfdoveton.catholic.edu.au/childsafe.html
