Placement allocations commence two weeks prior to the start of the trimester therefore, to ensure access to all placement opportunities, students will be unable to self-enrol after this time. Students enrolling after placement allocation has occurred may have limited options therefore, to request a late enrolment, please email health-wil@deakin.edu.au for further information

Police Check and Working with Children Check

Prior to commencing a placement, students are required to obtain a police check. The Faculty of Health Work Integrated Learning Team utilise an online service called ‘Fit2Work’, and students will receive an email with instructions on how to apply. Students should not apply for a police check until they have received this email from Fit2Work.

Some organisations may also require students to obtain a Working with Children check if they will be working directly with children or families whilst on placement.
