When a medication is required to be administered during the school day, parents/carers must:
- notify the school
- provide up to date information as required
- supply the medication and any 'consumables' necessary for its administration.
The administration of all medication in schools is carried out by staff with appropriate Department of Education training.
Parents/carers of children who require medications to be administered at school must complete the appropriate forms and receive confirmation from the principal before staff can administer any medication.
Staff can administer medications prescribed by a medical practioner or over-the-counter medication, if deemed necessary during school hours.

The administration of prescribed medication will be reviewed annually.
