Primary health placements help students build essential knowledge, employment skills, vocational experience, and professional connections critical for career success. This unit is one of two community health project units in which students will implement theory and knowledge gained through their course. In this community practicum students will work with a health organisation on a project or area of service delivery. Students will develop skills of negotiation, collaboration, team work and risk management. This will provide students with opportunities to integrate with industry to practice and reflect on the skills and capacities required by a graduate health professional.
This unit involves 180 hours of community engagement and project work, onsite and/or remotely. All students need to submit pre-project documentation prior to the commencement of the semester in order to undertake their project and successfully complete the unit.
