WIL notes

This program includes compulsory placements in settings that require full COVID-19 vaccination.

It is a Queensland Government requirement that students undertaking a placement within a clinical setting are fit tested annually for an approved respirator. Clinical settings include hospitals, residential aged care facilities, residential disability care facilities, prison health services, youth detention health services, community health care settings, and vaccination clinics). If the Fit Testing requirement applies to placement activity within your Program it will appear in your mandatory checks on Sonia Online. In accordance with Australian Standards, you must be clean shaven for your fit test. Facial hair that lies along the sealing surface of a tight-fitting respirator prevents an effective seal. Therefore, it is a requirement that there is no hair growth between the skin and the facepiece sealing surface in order to achieve a fit. At this stage, there is no exemption in Queensland to this requirement for religious or other reasons and UniSC is unable to waive this requirement.
 

• Each student needs to complete 1000 hour of practice education (Work integrated learning). This will require students to attend worksites on a fulltime basis for 10 weeks at a time. These worksites may be outside of the Sunshine Coast but within Queensland.
• Hold a valid Blue Card from the Public Safety Business Agency (PSBA), throughout the duration of your program. You should allow 12 weeks for PSBA to issue the card. This is required by Week 8 of Semester 1, first Year
• Provide evidence of immunity to Hepatitis B (blood titre level after approved vaccination schedule)
• Provide evidence of COVID-19 vaccination
• Comply with requirement for annual fit testing of an approved respirator
• Hold current Senior First Aid and CPR certificates (currency of certification is to be maintained throughout the program)
• Purchase the required OT uniform
• You may also be required to complete a Criminal History Check for particular placements, cost of which is to be borne by the student
• During practice education students are likely to be exposed to people with infectious diseases, including COVID-19, and students will be required to use PPE.
• For more information on mandatory requirements refer to Occupational Therapy - Placements.
