What to do if you are unwell?
What to do if you are unwell?
If you are unwell with any sickness such as COVID-19, influenza, glandular fever or gastroenteritis, you should contact your school’s external assessment coordinator immediately. Also seek medical advice and get a doctor’s report to give to your school. Your school will then make an illness and misadventure application to the QCAA.
To make an informed decision about an illness and misadventure application for medical reasons, the QCAA requires a report from an independent health professional that includes the following details:
The illness, condition or event (including details of a diagnosis, where applicable). A general medical certificate/statement, such as ‘unfit for duty’ is insufficient;
Date of diagnosis, onset or occurrence
Symptoms, treatment or course of action related to the condition or event
Explanation of the probable effect of the illness, condition or event on the student’s participation in the assessment.
Currency of supporting documentation
Currency of supporting documentation
Supporting documentation must cover the date of the assessment for which the application is made.
A health professional providing evidence must have examined or treated the student, or have been consulted by the student, in the period from two days before the external assessment to one day after the external assessment.
