Management Plans
Ensure you have current Epilepsy Management Plans for each of your students with epilepsy.
An Epilepsy Smart School will hold the appropriate documentation for any student with epilepsy. This includes an Epilepsy Management Plan (EMP) and if emergency medication is prescribed for the student, an Emergency Medication Management Plan (EMMP).
If you require further information and assistance regarding Epilepsy Management Plans or Emergency Medication Management Plans, please call the National Epilepsy Support Service on 1300 761 487.

Epilepsy Management Plans
The Epilepsy Management Plan (EMP) (or Seizure Management Plan, if stipulated by the treating doctor) documents the student’s seizure description and what to do in the event of a seizure, the impact of seizures on the student and the post-seizure support required. The EMP also identifies whether emergency medication has been prescribed and when to call 000.
Parents/carers of a student with epilepsy will work with their child’s doctor to create the EMP, often in conjunction with a school nurse.
- The plan should be current and updated annually, having been endorsed by the student’s doctor
- All relevant school staff must have ready access to the student’s EMP.
Use these guidelines to assist you to fill out the EMP template you download.

Emergency Medication Management Plans
Where emergency medication has been prescribed for a student with epilepsy, the Emergency Medication Management Plan (EMMP) is the school’s authority for a trained person to administer the emergency medication in the event of a seizure requiring an emergency response. The EMMP also provides information on when to call 000.
Parents/carers of a student with epilepsy will work with their child’s doctor to create the EMMP, often in conjunction with a school nurse.
- The EMMP is completed and endorsed by the doctor prescribing the medication and updated annually.
- The EMMP is attached to the EMP and is readily available to all trained school staff.
School staff are trained based on the individual requirements documented in this plan. Use these guidelines to assist you to fill out the EMMP template you download.
