Regulation 90 says what the medical conditions policy must contain. It must cover how conditions such as asthma, diabetes and anaphylaxis risk are managed, and how staff and volunteers are informed. For each child with a specific health care need, allergy or relevant condition, it requires a medical management plan from the parent, a risk minimisation plan developed with the parents, and a communication plan. If the service allows older children to self-administer medication, the policy must also cover that. Regulation 91 requires a copy of the policy to be given to the parent of every child the provider knows has such a condition. This checklist goes through each requirement in turn.
