Compulsory Placement Course

Students are required to complete 80 days of supervised practicum and 15 days of internship over 4 semesters. They are also required to complete a 5 day community placement. Every effort is made to place students within a reasonable distance of their home base but they can be expected to travel up to 90 minutes due to public transport connections and incur costs associated with travel and possible lost income over this period. Students are generally placed at Ipswich, Brisbane, and southeast Queensland and are encouraged to explore the option of a rural placement. Rural scholarships are available from the School of Education to assist with travel and accommodation costs.
