No Jab No Play

Our service is required to keep evidence showing your child is up to date with immunisations.
Please provide us with an Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register showing that your child is up to date with all immunisations as soon as possible. You can get an updated statement:

online – through MyGov <https://my.gov.au/LoginServices/main/login?execution=e1s1> once an account has been created
Medicare Express Plus App <https://www.humanservices.gov.au/customer/services/express-plus-mobile-apps–> once a MyGov account has been created
over the counter – at a Medicare Service Centre <http://findus.humanservices.gov.au/>
by phone – call the Australian Immunisation Register on 1800 653 809
by asking your GP/immunisation nurse if they can print the statement (note, not all immunisation providers can do this).

Copies of your child's Maternal Health Record are NOT VALID

Why do we need the latest evidence of immunisation?
In Victoria, the law requires early childhood services to take steps to make sure we have the latest immunisation information for enrolled children. In the unlikely event of an outbreak of a vaccine-preventable disease, we may need to work with health authorities to quickly identify who could be at risk and what actions or precautions need to be taken to best protect children’s’ health.

Please upload your child's Current Immunisation History Statement in PDF FORMAT ONLY – Date of Issue must be no older that 1 week from current date (located at top of document).

Max file size: 20MB

How to tell if you child is up to date
The ‘next vaccine due’ date on your current Immunisation History Statement from the Australian Immunisation Register needs to show a date in the future (or say ‘All vaccines complete’).
Vaccines are due at 2, 4, 6, 12 and 18 months of age and at 4 years of age on the National Immunisation Program Schedule or at a time advised by your immunisation provider, if your child is on a vaccine catch-up program.

Regular Outing Authority

As part of our Policies and Procedures, Diamond Hills has an Emergency Management Plan. The plan describes Diamond Hills Preschool, its environment, the potential hazards and the manner in which the emergencies will be managed. This document assumes the staff will be familiar with its contents and that the Emergency Plan will be tested regularly to ensure all staff understand the procedures to be adopted in an emergency.

It is with this in mind that the Staff is seeking your permission, to allow your child to be able to participate in our emergency evacuation practice(s) on a regular basis. The practices will occur at least every 3 months or, more often if the staff determines that this is necessary.
The staff also at this time are requesting to use this authorisation where we may also leave the Preschool to access the car park or surrounding neighbourhood (within 1km radius) for educational purposes. (A separate Risk Management Plan will be provided at this time.)
You will be notified on the day when the Emergency Management Plan has been or will be implemented and when we will be leaving the premises for educational purposes. This permission will only be utilised, when we put into practice, moving to our Emergency Assembly Points outside the Kindergarten secure area, these are- AA meeting point which is the reserve adjacent to the car park and AAA meeting point which is the grass area outside the rear gate of kinder (This gate is located to the right after exiting the rear od the preschool) or for learning purposes the surrounding area (within a 1 km radius) including the car park.

Please Note: There is an excursion Risk Management Plan in regards to the event of our Emergency Plan that you can view at the Preschool. At this stage we feel we have covered all risks, on the occasion of discovering more while implementing our evacuation plan the Risk Management Plan will be updated.

If you require further information in regards to our Emergency Evacuation Procedures please read our Emergency Evacuation Plan which is situated at all exits of the Preschool and/or the Emergency Management Document.

I give permission for my child (as name above) to participate in an Emergency Management Plan exercise or to visit the surrounding area for educational purposes whenever the Staff of Diamond Hills Preschool deems it necessary. I also understand that the staff will notify me when a practice or a need to leave the kinder perimeter is planned, has occurred or in some instances may have occurred during the session. I also understand that when an emergency evacuation or utilising the surrounding area for educational purposes is practiced that there will be in attendance the correct number of staff to meet adult:child ratio and on the occasion that we have any volunteers at the time of leaving the premises, they will also be included. I also understand that a separate Risk Management Plan will be provided if the children are leaving the premises for Educational purposes.

As part of your child’s Preschool portfolio you will receive a digital copy of your child’s photos at the end of the kinder year. These photographs may also be included in your child’s regular class report. We ask that parents DO NOT share these photos on social media/websites etc, if they contain any person other than your child. From time to time we do post promotional photos on our public facebook page or website. Care is always taken in selection of which photos are appropriate for this purpose.
