Prepare for your Nursing and Midwifery placement

Throughout your program, you will have the opportunity to participate in various experiential and placement opportunities.

Before you commence your placement, you will need to submit evidence that you have met the requirements below. Some of these requirements have expiry dates so there will be times when you will need to renew a requirement.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you meet these requirements and renew any requirements before they expire.
