At minimum, you should be up-to-date with your flu vaccinations; other immunisations that may be required are for Covid-19 and Hepatitis B. If we have sourced work placement for you, we will advise the vaccination requirements.
The requirements around vaccinations and evidence might change while you’re studying with us. Changes will be in line with industry requirements and/or Australian Immunisation Guidelines.
