Medication at School

If your child requires ‘over the counter’ medication at school you must sign a parent permission form.

If your child requires prescribed medication (eg. antibiotics) you must have an

‘Administration of Prescribed Medication Authorisation’ completed by a doctor, pharmacist or practice nurse. These forms are available at the school office or from the Department of Education website. Medication - The Department of Education Tasmania  

All medication must be handed into the school office in the original packaging. Students can only have their asthma medication in their bags.

If your child has Asthma and requires Asthma medication (eg. Ventolin) at school we will need an Asthma Action Plan and a ‘Administration of Prescribed Medication Authorisation’ signed by a doctor and parent. These must be updated annually.

Please ask at the School Office if you have any questions.
