Medical Action Plan Forms
Students with serious medical conditions must have an active Medical Action Plan on record with the College before they begin. The relevant Medical Action Plan Form or First Aid Guide can be downloaded by clicking on the links below, alternatively they can be obtained form you medical practitioner.
Families must complete the relevant Action Plan with their medical practitioner and then forward to the College for the students’ record to be updated. It is important that the College is informed of any changes to a students’ medical condition so that correct first aid response can be administered.

Student Exemption
If your child will be absent from school for an extended period of time, you must complete and lodge an Application for Exemption Form. Such exemptions from attendance of school are approved from the College Principal, and in some cases the Director of Catholic Education South Australia.
This must be completed for students who are seeking an exemption on the grounds of:
Family Travel - Holiday of less than 12 months.
Ongoing medical condition of less than 1 month.
Student Accident Insurance
All students attending Samaritan College that sustain any injuries as the result of an accident that occurs at school or on a school organised activity, are covered under the Catholic Education Student Accident insurance policy.
Insurance cover includes payments for medical services where that service is not already covered by Medicare. Depending on the type of injury, a lump sum payment may also be provided.
It is important to note that the policy only covers ACCIDENTS. If an ambulance is called for a health-related issue (seizure, anaphylactic, diabetes etc), the ambulance is not covered under this policy. Families of children with pre-existing conditions should always be encouraged to hold their own ambulance insurance.
To make a claim you can access the claim form here and complete all sections up to Page 5. The forms can then be forwarded to your campus Administration with copies of relevant medical reports. The college will complete the remainder of the form and submit on your behalf.
Further details regarding the policy can be obtained from the insurance provider on (02) 8256 1770 or claims@csnet.com.au
