- Failure of the practicum component will lead to a fail in this unit and may lead to exclusion.
Travel commitment
Because of the need for professional practice at external sites, all students undertaking the course should be aware of the required need for travel to placement sites. The requirement to travel is very real and travel time for metro placements will usually take less than 1.5 hours each way. It is also likely that you will have to attend at least one rural placement during the course.
