Diabetes action and management plans
All children/students with type 1 diabetes attending early childhood settings, primary or secondary schools in Victoria need to have a current Diabetes Action and Management plan in place to ensure that their diabetes care needs are supported and met.
These Diabetes Action and Management Plans have been developed by Diabetes Victoria, The Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Children’s Hospital diabetes treating teams. The plans are based on current best practice paediatric guidelines and are reviewed yearly.
The plans need to be discussed, completed and signed by the child/student’s diabetes treating team, parents/carers and either early childhood or school representatives.
2024 action and management plans for early childhood and school settings can be downloaded from this webpage or accessed through your child’s diabetes treating team.
