Work placement

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 perspective 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 students 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 you complete practical placement. We provide all learners with an Aged Care Training Services polo shirt and name badge. Any requirements over and above this (such as pants and shoes), you will be required to organise yourself and is not provided to you by ACTS.

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.
