Students attending compulsory workplace learning placements are responsible for all associated travel, accommodation and required resources.
Students are required to obtain and provide all necessary documentation to be verified by NSW ClinConnect. This verification is a requirement of the NSW Health Department for all students enrolled in medical programs. If a student fails to produce this documentation to ClinConnect they will not be able to attend hospital and health service teaching sessions, and placements. Attendance is a mandatory requirement of the course to ensure that professional competencies are met. Failure to attend will result in a Fail grade for the Unit. Documents that must be provided to ClinConnect are:
1. National Police Certificate
2. Adult Health Immunisation Schedule
3. Code of Conduct Agreement
Students must also meet the inherent requirements of the course as outlined in the Western Sydney University Inherent Requirements for Medicine: (https://science.csu.edu.au/schools/medicine/students/requirements/Inherent-requirements.pdf)
Inherent requirements are personal capabilities which are essential for achieving the learning outcomes of the Course or Unit in a way that will preserve the integrity of the Universitys teaching, learning and assessment standards and the accreditation requirements for the course. The Disability Education Standard, Section 3.4 (3) states: In assessing whether an adjustment to the Course, Unit 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."
