CASE Ocean School

Safety and Support

CASE Group Managers

All CASE Group Managers are diligently selected, then trained and certified under the CASE Institute of Professional Development’s standard. The extensive training ensures CASE Group Managers support students and create an environment where activities are meaningful, inspiring, and challenging for every student.

Medical support

All CASE Group Managers are first aid, anaphylaxis and CPR trained and qualified. Access to 24-hour on-site sickbay is available in all locations. Throughout the program, students and their families can rely on 24-hour emergency support from AUS staff.

Actura AUS Support

In addition to CASE Group Managers who accompany the students throughout their expedition, Actura’s highly experienced local AUS support team offers emergency backup and on-site support if required.

Medical Forms

All students must complete the CASE Ocean School medical forms as part of their preparation process. To best address any safety concerns and minimise risks in the planning and delivery of the program, it is crucial that all information is accurate and complete. We recommend all students consult their doctor for up-to-date advice on traveling with existing medical conditions.

Travel and Medical Insurance

As part of Actura’s risk management protocol, a group insurance policy is issued to cover all participants for the duration of the expedition. Our insurer is a leading provider of travel insurance. Upon completion of all expedition documents, comprehensive cover is offered for theft of valuables, damage to baggage, and cancellations or travel interruptions under the policy terms.

The standard Comprehensive Cover is based on a minimal excess. Alterations to the policy or extensions of cover beyond the program dates are available but may incur an extra cost.

COVID-19 Safety Plan

A full COVID-19 risk management and safety plan is in place for all CASE Ocean School expeditions. It seeks to protect the health, safety and wellbeing of all program participants, including students, teachers, Actura staff, program providers and the wider general public against the risks of COVID-19 infection and transmission.
