Health Conditions
There are many different health conditions that require ongoing management and support. For example asthma, anaphylaxis, diabetes and epilepsy, all require specific medical action plans and management, which schools should adhere to when children with these conditions are enrolled. More than 460,000 Australians under the age of 14 have asthma (ABS 2018) and 66% of these young people have a written Asthma Action Plan (Aust Gov, 2020).
