Student Placement Information

Please note the method by which students obtain their off duty/roster can vary from placement to placement, it is imperative students do not make any assumptions. Please clearly read your area profile for each placement for full instructions.  Area profiles are available for all students on Blackboard 

Each and every clinical placement has an area profile and learning outcomes. Area profiles can vary in detail, the minimum information contained is a contact person students should ring in advance of commencement of placement with any queries. Students are required to present with a clinical competency document , along with any area specific documentation as outlined in the individual area profile. The area profile also contains instructions on the relevant competency document students are required to print and bring with them on placement.

Travel Allowances are the responsibility of the Student Allocation Liaison Officer (SALO) in your affiliated hospital, if you have any queries please contact the SALO relevant to you.

While every effort is made to place students within a reasonable travelling distance from your home/term address please note this is not always possible. It is imperative your term/home address are up to date, along with your contact details, any amendments should be made directly with Academic Registry. 

Details of time owing are available in the shared guidelines, available in the Allocations folder on Blackboard, please familiarise yourself with relevant sections. Students who incur time owing in years 1-3 are required to repay this time over the summer holidays, please take this into consideration when making arrangements for the summer.

All students are required to obtain vaccinations as required by your affiliated hospital. Details of these vaccinations are communicated to students on behalf of your hospital.
