- Enter Medicare details for yourself and your child and provide consent.
- If you consent online, you will receive a reminder text 3 days prior to the clinic date.

If you or your child do not have a Medicare card or you cannot provide consent online, please email the College Office kmps@lism.catholic.edu.au to request a paper consent form to be sent home.
The benefits of providing consent online:
⦁ easily update your child's details.
