How should the medication be provided by the parent/guardian?
All medication is to be prescribed by a health professional and provided as a daily dose (or a week’s supply at the most, except in long-term continuous care arrangements). A medication authority, completed by the prescribing health professional, must accompany the medication. Medication must be within the expiry date of the product and delivered in the original container; with the label from the pharmacy. The parent/guardian can ask the pharmacist for a second labelled container to keep the extra medication at home.
