Local school policy template for schools
A downloadable Asthma Policy for Victorian government schools is available on the School Policy Templates (login required). Schools can modify the template to suit their local circumstances.
Student health support plans
- Asthma Action – for parents or carers to provide to the school, completed by the student’s medical practitioner (schools note: some medical practitioners may develop their own asthma action plans, and these should be accepted by schools where they contain the information required by this policy)
- Student Health Support – schools should use this document to detail how the school will provide support, identify specific strategies and allocate staff to assist the student with asthma
Useful websites for further information
