First Aid Room
Clonard has a First Aid room dedicated to students located in the General Office. Students are able to access the First Aid room in the event of sudden illness or accident. All Office Staff hold First Aid Level 2 qualifications and regularly undergo training for CPR, anaphylaxis, asthma, epilepsy and diabetes.
In the event that students are too unwell to return to their scheduled classes, a parent or guardian will be contacted to pick up the student. If the student is unable to be picked up, alternate arrangements can be made with the General Office.
Medications
It is also important to note that only medications that are included in an student action plan. Eg: anaphylaxis management action plan, asthma management action plan or on a medical authority form, can be distributed to the student.
Paracetomol is not given at the main office in accordance with Clonard’s First Aid Policy.

Parents and Ambulance Costs
The school will call 000 as soon as it is aware of an urgent or life-threatening situation and will attempt contact with parents/Carers as soon as practicable. If a student appears to have a non-minor injury or medical issue, the school will also attempt to contact parents/Carers and will call an ambulance if deemed appropriate.
Parents/Carers are responsible for the prompt payment of all ambulance costs.
In some cases involving injury, parents may be eligible for reimbursement of part or all of the ambulance costs through the school’s personal accident insurer.
When ambulance costs may be reimbursed through insurance
Reimbursement may be available for:
- Injuries that occur at school or during school activities.
- Injuries caused by a non–pre-existing medical event, for example heat stroke causing a fall and resulting injury.
What is not covered
The personal accident policy does not cover:
- Injuries or ambulance transport related to pre-existing medical conditions.
- Medical episodes or illnesses where no injury occurs, including asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, heart-related events, heat stroke without injury, and similar conditions.
In these circumstances, medical and transport costs remain the responsibility of parents/Carers.
