Student placements
Student placements come with responsibilities, requirements and expectations to ensure your safety and the safety of others. This Guide will help you to prepare to meet your placement obligations.
Religious holiday observance and placement attendance
Some students will require leave from clinical placement from time to time due to religious holidays. The Faculty follows the Monash Religious Observance Procedure.
If you need to take leave from clinical placements due to strict observation of religious holidays, you must notify the clinical co-ordinator of your religious holiday commitments. You will need to provide documentary evidence confirming your obligations to support your request.
Where you do miss clinical placement days due to religious observance you will need to make up the time missed.
Occupational Health & Safety
Student conference leave application
If you want to attend a conference during semester, you will need to apply for conference leave. Contact your course co-ordinator to obtain a form to apply for conference leave.
