Frequently Asked Questions
How do I become a School Anaphylaxis Supervisor?
To become a School Anaphylaxis Supervisor, you need to undergo a specific training course that provides comprehensive knowledge about anaphylaxis and its management.
HERO offers a structured School Anaphylaxis Supervisor training course that covers a broad range of topics related to anaphylaxis, including recognising its signs and symptoms, understanding how to administer adrenaline devices and developing risk management strategies.
Is anaphylaxis staff training mandatory?
Yes. In Australia, anaphylaxis staff training is mandatory for staff in schools and childcare services. This is to ensure the safety of all students, particularly those diagnosed with severe allergies.
How often do teachers need anaphylaxis training?
In Victoria, staff members who have a role in caring for students with severe allergies should undergo refresher anaphylaxis training every two years.
Who is eligible to take the School Anaphylaxis Supervisor training?
The School Anaphylaxis Supervisor training is designed for nominated school staff who are responsible when it comes to managing anaphylaxis in a school environment. This includes teachers, school nurses, administrators and support staff. The Department of Education & Training and the Victorian Catholic Education Authority fund two staff members from Victorian Government & Catholic Schools per school to undertake this training.
Staff members from Independent Schools, or staff over and above the funded two staff members per school, are also eligible, but the cost of the training will need to be covered by the school.
Can School Anaphylaxis Supervisor training be done online?
Absolutely. At HERO, we offer both online and reduced face-to-face delivery options for School Anaphylaxis Supervisor training. Our online course option allows participants the flexibility to learn at their own pace and in their own environment.
For those who prefer a more traditional learning format, we also provide a standard face-to-face training option, ensuring safety protocols are met while still delivering a comprehensive learning experience.
