Im sure they may mean by a chemist, but you will need to check with them.
As far as whether or not it is right: the centre has a right to set whatever policies they wish as long as they stick the the recognised act and regulations for the state.
FWIW DS's centre don't administer panadol at all unless the temperature reaches 38 degrees at which point you are required to collect within one hour, or unless accompanied by a letter from a doctor stating continuing administration is necessary.
All medication must be labelled by a pharmacist and the label must be renewed every 28 days to ensure that it is still okay to use.
They don't even take chances with nappy creams: they require a label and proper instructions for application.
What seems like common sense to you has probably created many lawsuits - so when you think it is silly you need to understand that someone else has taken a business owner to court for something that stupid.

I am happy to get it labelled and happier now that I read it can probably be done by the chemist. To get around it today I gave her some before I dropped her off and then rang at midday and asked if she had a temp thinking I would go and give her some but she was fine
