Unit description
This unit provides an off-campus, work-integrated learning experience in a health-related context. Placements may be undertaken in a range of areas (such as health policy, planning, promotion, research, service development, advocacy, and education) and across a range of sectors (such as government, non-profit, community-based, industry, and professional organisations). Students may complete an organisational project during their placement, such as researching and writing a report on a specific issue, or are involved in the delivery of service provision. As far as possible, placements are arranged in accordance with each student's background, skills, experience, professional and academic interests, and career aspirations.
