Three Rivers Department of Rural Health

Three Rivers Department of Rural Health provides valuable support for eligible students undertaking placement in rural areas. This includes subsidised accommodation or financial assistance when placed in Three Rivers locations. Students also benefit from a range of resources, such as online learning modules, access to the Charles Sturt Student Rural Health Club, and information on rural career opportunities and pathways for further health study. Additionally, students can access the UDRH map, which provides an overview of all University Departments of Rural Health across Australia, including contact details to help them confirm their placement locations.

NSW Health placement requirements

The Student Placement Agreement (SPA) with NSW Health mandates that the Education Provider, (i.e. the university), must approach health facilities on your behalf. Note that not all Local Health Districts (LHDs) are included in the SPA. You must contact your work-integrated learning (WIL) officer to check if the university has an active agreement for psychology in the LHD before seeking compliance or placement within NSW Health.

To be eligible for a placement in any health facility (public or private), you must first complete the NSW Health compliance requirements, regardless of the state where you wish to complete your placement. This process can take some time, so it's best to start as soon as you enrol in your WIL subject. Note that NSW Health staff must also complete the student compliance steps.

Please don't arrange your own placement in the NSW Health setting. Once you're health compliant, the WIL team, along with your Placement Coordinator (Academic), will assist you in sourcing a placement in an accessible LHD. All NSW Health placements must be requested by your WIL officer via ClinConnect.

Steps

  1. Contact your WIL officer to confirm whether there is an active SPA for the LHD where you intend to complete your placement.
  2. Enrol in your WIL subject through your student portal.
  3. Review the student compliance requirements on the HETI website.
  4. Familarise yourself with the NSW Health policy directive on Occupational Assessment, Screening and Vaccination Against Specified Infectious Diseases.
  5. Collate your portfolio of evidence using the following email subject line:
    1. Last name, First name - Student ID. Subject Session. Student Compliance
    2. e.g. McFly, Marty - 11223344. PSY569 202560. Student Compliance
  6. Email to psychology-wpl@csu.edu.au
