Students are required to have obtained all the necessary documentation to be verified by NSW ClinConnect. This verification is a requirement of NSW Health for all students enrolled in medical programs. If a student fails to produce this documentation to ClinConnect they will be unable to attend their hospital tutorials and placements.
Attendance at the hospital is a mandatory requirement of the subject and failure to attend will result in a fail (FL) grade for the subject. The documents that are to be provided to ClinConnect are:
1. National Police Certificate
2. Adult Health Immunisation Schedule
3. Code of Conduct Agreement
Students are also expected to meet the inherent requirements of the course as outlined in the Western Sydney University Inherent Requirements for Medicine Courses: https://cdn.csu.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0007/3518908/Inherent-requirements.pdf
Inherent requirements are the fundamental components of a Course or Subject, that are necessary to demonstrate the capabilities, knowledge and skills essential to achieve the core learning outcomes of the Course or Subject, while preserving the academic integrity of the universitys learning assessment and accreditation processes. The Disability Education Standard, Section 3.4 (3) states: In assessing whether an adjustment to the Course, Subject of the Course or program in which the student is enrolled, or proposes to be enrolled, is reasonable, the provider is entitled to maintain the academic requirements of the Course or program, and other requirements or components that are inherent in or essential to its nature. Note: In providing for students with disabilities, a provider may continue to ensure the integrity of its Courses or programs and assessment requirements and processes, so that those on whom it confers an award can present themselves as having the appropriate knowledge, experience and expertise implicit in the holding of that particular award.
