Medical Forms
Current ASCIA Action Plans are the 2023 versions. However, prior versions (2022 and 2021) are still valid for use in 2026. ASCIA Action Plans do not expire, and therefore the plan is still valid beyond the date of review, which is a guide for patients to see their doctor. For further information about ASCIA Action Plans go to www.allergy.org.au/hp/anaphylaxis/action-plans-for-allergic-reactions-faq
Please provide the College with a current Action Plan, if required for your student, prior to school starting in 2026.
Please note a student can not provide medication to the school office without an adult present.
