Are we required to find our own placement sites or are they allocated to us?
Most placements will be allocated to students taking into account their areas of interest, however if a student has a contact at a specific organisation that may be suitable for a placement, they should contact the course coordinator.
Can I undertake a placement in a regional or remote area?
There are a small number of regional and remote placements throughout the year, if you are interested in these please contact your course coordinator. These placements are usually self-funded for travel and accommodation, however at times the School of Public Health can provide some additional funds to support students with these costs.
Can I undertake a placement interstate or overseas?
Occasionally students have completed placements that are interstate or overseas, however these have been organised by the student who has had existing contacts at the location and placement organisation. If the students think they have a suitable placement option outside of Queensland, they should contact the course coordinator to see if it is a viable option.
