Good to know
Placements we arrange are part of your course, so they are recorded and assessed by your institution.
Compliance
Placements that stand up to an audit
Every placement we arrange is tied to a requirement of the student's course and documented from start to finish.
- Course-linked agreementsEach agreement records the course and unit, so the placement is a vocational placement under the Fair Work Act.
- International student checksWe confirm the placement is a compulsory work component of the CRICOS course before a student starts.
- Safety and child safetyHost safety induction is confirmed before day one, and Working with Children Checks where required.
- Privacy by designStudent information is handled under the Australian Privacy Principles and shared only with the people who need it.
