FAQ 804
Placements for Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Health Programmes - Can I request a specific placement category or placement location?

For students studying Nursing


You are welcome to submit a specific placement request throughout your course and where possible we will endeavour to accommodate your request. Your request needs to be submitted 12 weeks in advance of the placement commencement date. However, due to the number of placements available at any one time we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate all placement requests. 


Please be aware that we will not accept requests for the first year of your course and can only accept one request for the second year of your course and one request for your third year (this is usually your consolidation request if you wish to make one).

Please submit all requests here
