Professional Experience Placement

This fully-accredited course understands the importance of job-readiness and work experience - that’s why we ensure that your 120 hours of industry (work) placement is managed carefully during your study period. Placement must be undertaken in a work place that will give you exposure to leisure and health promotion, activities development and delivery. This needs to be signed off by a workplace supervisor/mentor. Placement is traditionally unpaid; Skills Training Australia can assist you if you cannot find a suitable placement facility. For those who do not currently work in the industry, placement is undertaken in a one off 3 week block at the end of the qualification. This runs Monday to Friday 7am - 4pm, with the potential for some weekend and afternoon shifts. For those who are currently working as a personal care assistant, placement can be undertaken in the workplace.

Police Check and Working with Children Check In most cases, it will be a requirement of your placement provider that you undertake a Police Check and a Working with Children Check. Both checks generally need to be clear to allow you to go on placement. Where a student has been identified as having a disclosable outcome, it is up to the student to contact the Training Department should they wish to disclose the outcome and discuss. Obtaining these checks, and any cost associated with applying for them, is your responsibility. They need to be current and must be obtained prior to your first day of placement - they will need to be sighted by your placement supervisor and/or the manager to whom you are reporting.
