Do you think only prescribing two EpiPens at a time is enough for a child with major anaphylaxis given they have to have Epipens stored at school at all times?

It does seem rather restrictive. Three is probably the sweet spot since school requires one. Write to the Federal Health Minister, Mark Butler.

This is a tough one. They don't always have a long expiry so having more than 2 pens expire more often is going to cost quite a bit and is tougher to track the expiry for busy parents but it should be a choice that parents can make. They should have the option for more pens if they want. For school and if children live between two homes (ie divorced parents etc).
