Clinical placements

MyPlacement is the system we use to track your placements throughout your Master Program. Once you have enrolled into your subjects you will be able to log into MyPlacement. 

Students must upload all required documents to MyPlacement and then contact the Clinical Placement team for review. Once the Clinical Placement team has completed its review, documents are sent to NSW Health for assessment. 

The outcome report will indicate the status as:

• "Compliant"
• "Temp Compliant" or 
• "Not Compliant."

Refer to NSW Health Policy Directive for Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination Against Specified Infectious Diseases (PDF).

Refer to Graduate School of Health Clinical Compliance Checklist (PDF).

As per NSW Health and Graduate School of Health policy, students must complete all vaccination requirements in order to be eligible to undertake clinical placements. If you need assistance, contact the Clinical Placements Team GSHClinPrac@uts.edu.au

Adult Vaccination Record card

Download Vaccination Record card for Category A workers and students (PDF).

The vaccination record card must be completed by a medical practitioner, containing (where possible) the brand and batch number of each vaccine as well as an official stamp and signature from the medical practitioner / provider. Each card entry must have a clinic stamp and/or provider number. For more information, see NSW Health Immunisation video (with closed captioning).

Important: As it may take several months to complete the full course of vaccinations, students are advised to consult the UTS Health Service or their local doctor as soon as they receive their offer.

Flu vaccination

Annual influenza vaccination is mandatory for all clinical students attending placement. Flu season runs from 1 June and 30 September each year. 

Students must receive the current year’s southern hemisphere influenza vaccine registered for use by the TGA, which is made available in April/May each year.

Refer to NSW Health Policy Directive PD2019_003 Working with Children Checks and Other Police Checks (PDF).

All students enrolling in courses that involve clinical placements are required to undertake a National Criminal Record Check and comply with other policy requirements (as above).

Students must have a National Police Certificate from an organisation accredited by the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) with no listed convictions.

If a charge or conviction is listed on the National Police Check, students must apply for a risk assessment (PDF).

Overseas students are required to provide both a National Criminal Record Check and a National Police Check from their home country or any country or countries they have resided in since turning 18 years of age. If not able to provide the international police check, students can sign the Overseas Student Statutory Declaration (PDF).
