The State Schools Nursing Service (SSNS) provides specialist nursing support to eligible students with significant health needs attending Queensland state schools. The service works collaboratively with families, school staff and treating health professionals to support students to safely access and participate in education. This may include developing Individual Health Plans and Emergency Health Plans, providing staff training and supporting schools to implement reasonable adjustments.
Mt Ommaney Special School is supported by the State Schools Nursing Service. As the nursing team provides services across a number of schools within the local area, nurses are not permanently based on site.
If your child has a health condition that may require nursing support during school hours, please speak with the Principal or their delegate, who can discuss whether a referral to the State Schools Nursing Service is appropriate.
