Practical Placement is an important part of your course – 120 hours of practical placement is required to achieve your qualification.
It is a great opportunity to put all your knowledge into action and showcase your skills to a prospective employer.

We arrange your placement for you! We always aim to organise placement for you in a workplace that is aligned with your individual needs and aspirations and if possible conveniently located.

When individuals are undertaking placement they must wear a student uniform at all times. You will be required to dress in the attire as directed by the facility where the complete practical placement. We provide all learners with an ACTS polo shirt and name badge. Any requirements over and above this (such as pants and shoes, you will be required to organise for yourself and is not provided to you by ACTS.

Where required by the employer, students must undergo an NDIS check prior to placement. All students starting work for registered NDIS providers in certain types of roles, called risk-assessed roles will need an NDIS Clearance before they can start work. An NDIS Clearance is valid for 5 years from the date of the notice unless it is surrendered or revoked.

Police Check

All students are required to arrange their own police check before commencing placement. We will provide links and guidance to help students complete the police check process when they are approaching their placement.

The cost of the police check is the responsibility of the student.

If the police check is clear, we will arrange placement for the student. If the police check reveals any findings, the student will need to secure their own placement. In these cases, we will provide support where possible; however, we are unable to arrange placement on behalf of students with findings on their police check.
