Re: How big a medical decision / process is vaccinating ?
Immunisation is not, and will not be, determined as a "special medical procedure".
There is significant case law in the opposite direction.
The Courts regularly overrule anti-vaccination parents - although often a delayed vaccination schedule is adopted on the basis of expert reports.
The only time I have seen it (non-vaccing) supported is where one parent has been given sole parental responsibility - that is, the sole decision-making person is one parent, and the other parent has been excluded (for very good reason).
It is highly unlikely that she will be successful. ALthough it is not a Melbourne case - we will have to wait and see - but in Melbourne I don't know any judge who would support such an application.
