How to apply

To apply for a placement, you’ll need to talk to your education provider. We don’t accept direct applications from students.

1. Check if your school or university holds a student placement deed with Queensland Health.
2. Contact your school or university placement coordinator to find a suitable placement.
3. Complete your mandatory orientation on Queensland Health’s iLearn website.
4. Prepare and sign the necessary documents to start your placement.

You’ll also need to have some checks before you start your placement including a working with children and criminal history check.
