Parents and Ambulance Costs

The school will call 000 as soon as it is aware of an urgent or life-threatening situation, and will attempt contact with parents/guardians as soon as practicable. If a student appears to have a non-minor injury or medical issue, the school will also attempt to contact parents/guardians and will call an ambulance if deemed appropriate.

Parents/guardians are responsible for the prompt payment of all ambulance costs.

In some cases involving injury, parents may be eligible for reimbursement of part or all of the ambulance costs through the school’s personal accident insurer.

When ambulance costs may be reimbursed through insurance

Reimbursement may be available for:

  • Injuries that occur at school or during school activities.
  • Injuries caused by a non–pre-existing medical event, for example heat stroke causing a fall and resulting injury.

What is not covered

The personal accident policy does not cover:

  • Injuries or ambulance transport related to pre-existing medical conditions.
  • Medical episodes or illnesses where no injury occurs, including asthma attacks, anaphylaxis, heart-related events, heat stroke without injury and similar conditions.

In these circumstances, medical and transport costs remain the responsibility of parents/guardians.
