This unit involves various types of work integrated learning and therefore, additional student responsibilities are required in addition to those described in this section. Work integrated learning requires strict adherence to professional practice principles and ethics. Client confidentiality must always be maintained, including for assessment items such as reports or essays. The professional nature of this unit also requires participation at all learning activities (lectures, practicals etc. if scheduled – see Canvas) for the successful completion of this unit. If attendance requirements cannot be satisfied (e.g. timetable clash), it is recommended that you meet with your Discipline Lead to schedule this unit for a future semester.
