# Requesting a co-guardian

> Ask for another person — such as a partner or other parent — to be added as a co-guardian for your child.

> Video tutorial coming soon

## Overview

If you want another parent or caregiver to have access to your child's health plan, you can request a co-guardian be added. Your school or club will review and approve the request before the co-guardian receives an invitation.

Only the **primary guardian** can submit co-guardian requests.

## Steps (Mobile App)

1. Log in to the mymeddiCAL app and select the relevant organisation.
2. Tap the **⋯ More** tab at the bottom of the screen.
3. Tap **My Co-Guardian Requests**.
4. Tap **+ Add a Guardian**.
5. If you have more than one child, select which child to add the co-guardian for.
6. Fill in the co-guardian's details:
   * First and last name
   * Email address
   * Phone number
   * Relationship (e.g. Mother, Father, Guardian)
7. Tap **Send Request**.

You'll see a confirmation message. Your organisation will review the request and, once approved, the co-guardian will receive an invitation email to create their account.

<Note>
  The co-guardian does not gain access until an administrator at your school or club approves the request. You will be notified by email once a decision is made.
</Note>

## What the co-guardian sees

Once approved and invited, the co-guardian will receive an email with a magic link to set up their account. They can then log in to the mymeddiCAL app or web portal to view health plans for the linked student.

Co-guardians can view health plans but **cannot** add further co-guardians — only the primary guardian can manage co-guardian requests.

## Checking the status of your request

Tap **⋯ More** → **My Co-Guardian Requests** at any time to see whether your request is pending, approved, or rejected. Rejected requests will include a reason from the administrator.
