Accident Insurance

Student Medical Expenses

 Parents and carers are reminded that neither the school nor the Department of Education provide personal accident insurance or ambulance cover for students. We strongly encourage all parents and carers to have up-to-date ambulance cover. Parents and guardians of students, who do not have student accident insurance/ambulance cover, are responsible for paying the cost of any medical expenses such as ambulance costs if their child is injured or requires an ambulance at school, or whilst participating in a school activity. Parents and carers can purchase insurance policies from commercial insurers. The Department’s Student Medical Expenses Policy on SPAG is available here (https://www.education.vic.gov.au/school/principals/spag/governance/pages/medicalexp.aspx) and can also be used to refer parents to the Department’s policy on this matter.
