Clinical compliance process

Compliance documentation

Each year students are required to complete compliance documentation pertaining to their degree. This includes but is not limited to:

UTS MyPlacement Forms 

• Student Inherent Requirements Form
• First Aid Details Form (Nursing only)
• Working with Children’s Check Form (Nursing Only)

NSW Health Requirements

• NSW Health Code of Conduct Agreement for Students
• Undertaking/Declaration Form
• Turberculosis (TB) Assessment Tool 
• Blood Borne Virus Declaration (Midwifery Students Only)
• National Police Check (we recommend Veritas)
• Vaccinations (see vaccination checklist)

Start preparing your evidence and obtain any vaccinations needed once you accept your offer and enrol in your first clinical subject. 

Further instructions are provided upon your admission to the course. 



 

Students that aren’t compliant by the timelines indicated will not be able to attend placement/s and be at risk of failing the relevant subject. It is the student's own responsibility to ensure their checks are up-to-date throughout their degree.

You may also need

• Evidence of TB screening. This is dependent on how you answer questions in the Tuberculosis (TB) Assessment Tool. See Appendix 3: TB Assessment Decision Support Tool here.
• An overseas criminal record check and or Statutory Declaration Form

Apply for this check via the NSW Office of the Children’s Guardian.

What if my placement doesn’t involve working with children, do I still need to apply for a check?

Yes! Why?

• You won’t know if your placement needs WWCC, when you do it will be too late to apply
• You will work with children at some point during your degree
• The check is valid for 5 years
• If you don’t have it before your first placement, you won’t be able to attend a clinical placement
