Additional Needs & Medical Requirements (3)
Of course. We understand that every child has unique needs.
We have over 30 years of experience working with families to offer tailored support to ensure your child is safe and happy in our care.
From extra training for our staff to resources and dedicated specialists, we’re committed to making our care work for your child.
If your child has any additional needs, our award-winning CARE program has been designed and implemented to ensure that we provide the best guidance, care and support available.
We have;
1800+ educators trained in Resilient Mindset,
1500+ educators trained in Autism awareness, and
Over 400 Inclusion Support Educators working across 81 services every week
We strongly recommend that you advise us of your child’s additional needs when you register. This ensures that our educators can provide a program that includes your child from day one.
If you require further assistance, pop down to the OSHC service at your school and have a chat with their team to see what support is available to your family.
If your child has a medical condition, we need authorised documentation so we’re able to provide them safe care.
If your child as asthma, anaphylaxis or allergic reactions, we ask that you download and complete the below templates and upload them into your Parent Portal prior to your child’s first attendance.
Asthma Action Plan (Drug Allergy)
Action Plan for Anaphylaxis (General)
Action Plan for Anaphylaxis (EpiPen)
Action Plan for Anaphylaxis (Anapen)
Action Plan for Anaphylaxis (Jext)
Action Plan for Anaphylaxis (Neffy)
Action Plan for allergic reactions
For diabetes, epilepsy, and other medical conditions, please upload to the Parent Portal an action plan and medical management plan that has been endorsed by your child’s medical practitioner.
It’s important to reach out to the staff at your service as early as possible to allow time to adequately plan and prepare for your child’s first attendance.
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of your child, all medication must be supplied to the service by a parent or carer and meet the following requirements, in line with our Administration of Medication policy.
All medication (including over-the-counter medication such as Panadol or Zyrtec) must be:
- Clearly labelled with your child’s full name and dosage*
(Where possible, this should be a pharmacist label. In some states, this is mandatory.) - Provided in its original packaging, with any blister packs left intact
- Within the medication’s expiry date
- Consistent with:
- The written medical practitioner’s prescribed dosage
- The Risk Minimisation and Communication Plan completed by the parent in the Parent Portal
- The pharmacist label attached to the medication packaging
* Please note: Camp Australia staff are not able to split, cut, or divide tablets into smaller portions.
