- Appoint an appropriately qualified or experienced mentor/supervisor
- Provide meaningful tasks or a project with the opportunity to experience a real-world professional environment in their workplace
- Provide a safe working environment (hosts will need to complete an OHS form when setting up the placement, see the section 'Suitable host organisations' for more information about size and location of organisations and required company insurances).
- You can also advise a host that "Monash University has a Personal Accident Insurance Policy which provides capital, medical and loss of income benefits for all currently enrolled Monash University students".
- Provide 20 Days (for 6 CP), 30 Days (for 12 CP) or 55 Days (for 24 CP) of placement – this must be determined before placement can be approved.
If your placement involves days in excess of the required days of your internship unit, eg. 20, 30 or 55 days you will need to ensure you are being paid for the additional time. You will only be covered by Monash University insurance for the required number of placement days, e.g. 20,30, 55 days. Anything over and above this must be a separate arrangement between you and the host organisation. For more information on this please refer to Fair Work.
There is NO obligation for hosts to set assignments for students. Assessment is arranged by the Faculty. Students may seek advice from the host around their assignments, but there is no obligation for hosts to be involved in academic assessments. Hosts will be asked to complete a mid-way and end of placement survey.
