Anaphylaxis

The Interim Anaphylaxis Guidelines for Queensland Schools (new window) 226k relate to the Department of Education and the Arts Health and Safety Procedure, HLS-PR-009 Administration of Routine and Emergency Medication and Management of Health Conditions and provide specific information for Queensland schools on how to manage and treat students with anaphylaxis.

Where written advice has been provided to the school by the parent/caregiver, that a student has been diagnosed by a medical practitioner as being anaphylactic or potentially anaphylactic, the Principal must ensure that all staff receive a copy of the guidelines.

To complement the information in the guidelines, a PowerPoint presentation, with facilitator notes, is available on the Management and Treatment of Students with Anaphylaxis (new window) 238k . The PowerPoint presentation will assist schools to develop appropriate processes for the management and treatment of anaphylactic students enrolled at their school.

Education Queensland is currently piloting an Anaphylaxis Management Training Program in the Greater Brisbane, Moreton, South Coast and Sunshine Coast Regions.

Education Queensland registered nurses are available in certain districts (new window) 40k other than those included in the pilot to provide anaphylaxis education and EpiPen training.
