Medical Student

Students with a medical condition

Students with a medical condition, other than a mental health condition, which prevents them from attending school on a regular basis, including a special school or special class within a regular school, may be eligible for enrolment at a distance education school or centre.

The parent or carer must submit specialist medical documentation which:

♦clearly identifies the medical condition

♦explicitly states the condition which prevents the student from attending a school

♦specifies the length of time the medical certificate covers.

Students with a medical condition deemed by the specialist medical practitioner to be long term will be required to provide a medical certificate at the beginning of each academic year.
