Special Requirements

These include the Police Check Policy and Procedures, Infectious Disease Policy, Code of Conduct and Student Placement Agreement. Students who do not comply with these policies will not be placed or will be removed from placements and therefore will not be able to complete this course. Students who have not complied or are unsure of the policies should seek guidance from the School.
Due to the nature of paramedic work students will be required to meet specific medical and physical requirements which will be detailed as pre requisites for the paramedic specific unit in Semester One.
