About the program
Bachelor and Master of nursing students must complete a minimum of 800 hours of clinical placement throughout their course.
This program supports Bachelor and Master of Nursing students with high-quality clinical placements in the care and support sector, including:
- aged care
- veterans’ care
- disability support.
Students in the program will be supported by a program specialist clinical facilitator. All nursing students will be able to access the Aged Care Knowledge Hub, providing free resources to help students on placement.
We have contracted five organisations to deliver this program nationally.

Why this program is important
The Clinical Placements Program will raise student awareness of the rewarding career opportunities in the care and support sector. This creates new opportunities for registered nurses to enter the care and support sector in the early stages of their career.

The program is open until December 2024.
