Clinical placements
Anyone applying for an ACN course that includes a clinical placement must provide evidence of compliance documents at the time of application.
Applications for enrolment will not be progressed until all relevant documentation has been received by Customer Services.
Each Australian state and territory has its own clinical placement documentation requirements. Further details are available on our Clinical Placement Information page, click on the tab for your particular state or territory for information on specific requirements.
Individual placement providers may need additional documentation. If you are required to provide this then you will be contacted by the Clinical Placement Officer following enrolment.
ACN negotiates with health care facilities to secure clinical placements. ACN will make every effort to secure clinical placements within the timeframe indicated in the course outline, however applicants are advised that provision and location of clinical placements is dependent on the availability of placements within the health facility.
As placements are difficult to secure, once confirmed these cannot be negotiated unless there is unforeseen extenuating circumstances. Applicants are not to arrange their own clinical placements with a clinical facility under any circumstances. ACN reserves the right to change clinical placements if necessary.
Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) for clinical placement
Students can be granted recognition of prior learning (RPL) for clinical placement if:
you have been in employment in the area of specialty for at least six months (full time equivalent).
Documentation that will be accepted as evidence:
A position description for role with a letter from your employer stating that you have been in their employment for at least six months (full time equivalent)
If you are your own employer then you can use your own company profile as evidence
A statutory declaration if you are not able to provide either of the above
