Your guide to workplace requirements

Successfully completing your workplace placement is a critical part of your studies. Through Work Integrated Learning (WIL) you will improve your employability by gaining valuable practical experience in a workplace setting, directly related to the course you're studying.

WIL can be in the form of:

work placements such as; clinical placements, internships, field education, vocational and professional practice
projects with industry and community organisations

This page provides everything you need to know about pre-placement requirements and compliance checks.

Follow the steps below to prepare for your placement with confidence.

What you need to do

Undertake pre-placement checks

It is essential that you start the compliance process as early as possible to ensure that you are ready in time for your placement such as tests, training and immunisations.

Understand course specific compliance checks

These compliance checks are required by both the University and your host organisation. They are there to protect you and the people you work with and to ensure you are safe on placement.

Submit your documents to Flinders via InPlace

You should keep all original copies of documents in a safe place, as you may be asked to produce these by your host organisation.
