Student Medical Expenses

Mooroolbark College takes the welfare of students very seriously.  When a student is injured, medical assistance will be actioned.  It is important to note, the cost of any medical attention or ambulance for a student will be borne by the parent/guardian.

Parents are liable for all medical expenses incurred as a result of student injury, including transport costs such as ambulance or air ambulance costs. 

Staff will use their judgment as to what action to take in cases of a student’s accident or sudden illness. In an emergency a staff may:

• call an ambulance or call for any necessary medical attention on behalf of the student’s parents. 

Mooroolbark College strongly encourage parents to have up-to-date ambulance cover.  This notice is to inform parents that they are responsible for any medical expenses such as ambulance costs incurred if their child is injured or requires an ambulance at school, or whilst participating in a school activity.
