Medical Conditions
Health Care Plans in OSHC
Children with a diagnosed health condition are required to have a current Medical Management Plan in place in order to attend the service. Any medication provided must be in date, clearly labelled by a pharmacist, and match the details outlined in the child’s medical documentation. These requirements ensure compliance with Regulation 90 of the Education and Care National Regulations.
Three Plans must be completed before bookings can be made
1.Medical Plan/Action Plan (completed by medical practitioner)
2.Risk minimisation plan (completed by family and service)
3.Health Support Plan (completed in service by OSHC staff)
If your child needs medication to be administered during OSHC for a short term minor health condition (e.g. antibiotics) for 1 week or less, please contact service Directors and complete the Medication Agreement.
MEDICAL PLANS must:
- be completed in full and signed by a medical practitioner
- Include a start and review date
