Our placement partners are continuing to support these important activities and professional placements will continue unless otherwise advised. If a scheduled placement is cancelled, UniSQ will let you know and we will reschedule cancelled placements to the earliest available time.

If a placement is rescheduled, UniSQ will apply an incomplete grade (IDM) when results are finalised at the end of Semester. The IDM grade will not impact on your HECS-HELP or fee obligations.  Importantly, all activities completed prior to the cancellation will contribute towards your final grade.

If your circumstances mean you need to withdraw from your placement, please contact us first and let us know so we can make sure the hours you have completed can count towards your course or program requirements.

Please check your StudyDesk regularly for updated information or contact our Student Support team. 

We ask that at all times you please practice appropriate social distancing, in line with the Australian Government’s social distancing guidance.

If at any stage your placement is interrupted by a site closure, a decision to self-isolate or need to undertake carer’s duties, please contact the placement office by emailing bela.Placements@usq.edu.au or by phoning +61 7 4631 2359.

Mandatory vaccinations for any adult attending any education facility in Queensland. Please note the following mandatory vaccination requirements are also for students in all Australian state/territories that require vaccinations to attend an education facility.

• In line with Queensland Government and Department of Education, UniSQ will require students to have full vaccination against COVID-19 for all pre-service teachers working or delivering a service at a school or early childhood education and care setting (this includes state, private and catholic sites).
• Workers entering education settings, including schools, kindergartens and childcare centres, will need to have received at least 2 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.
• All students enrolled in placements from Semester 1, 2022 who are unable to attend or complete placements by the end of the semester due to the availability of providers or because they are not yet fully vaccinated against COVID-19, will be assigned an 'Incomplete' temporary grade.
• An 'Incomplete' temporary grade will appear on your academic transcript as an DA (Deferred Assessment granted). Official Temporary Grades, such as DA, do not hold or imply any academic penalty.
• You will be permitted to carry this grade against your placement course for a maximum of one year to allow you time to become vaccinated and/or complete any outstanding placement requirements.
• Carrying a DA grade may delay your program progression or completion. Please consider carefully whether it is the right decision for you to delay your placement and get in touch with your program director or coordinator if you have questions about your grade.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to secure a placement for non-vaccinated students. For this reason, students currently enrolled with no evidence of COVID-19 vaccination and unable to meet the vaccination requirements before their placement start date should expect to receive an DA grade, as explained above.

Alternatively, students are encouraged to enrol at a time they are able to meet the mandatory vaccination requirements.

Vaccination information

You can use the National Eligibility Checker to find an appointment at a GP clinic, pharmacy or other immunisation provider.

What you need to do

Please ensure you upload your vaccine evidence to your InPlace profile once received. The UniSQ Professional Experience Placements Team cannot secure a placement on your behalf without this evidence. Please note, you may also be required to provide evidence of your vaccination upon induction prior to placement.

Exemptions

If you have any medical questions or concerns about the COVID-19 vaccinations, please discuss these with your GP. If you have applied for a medical exemption please upload relevant documentation to InPlace. However, in line with QLD Health and Department of Education, exemptions are unlikely and will only be accepted in very extreme circumstances.

Should you have any questions or concerns about your professional experience placement requirements, please contact the BELA Placements Team via email at bela.Placements@usq.edu.au.

As a student at UniSQ yours and your family's wellbeing is the University's main priority.

The Professional Experience team together with the Professional Experience Convenor will work with you to ensure your placement can continue as soon as possible once your child is well or you are out of isolation and if necessary create an individualised plan, if you decide to self-isolate, undertake carer's duties or the site closes.

Please be assured that UniSQ has developed strategies to minimise the impact of an interruption should it occur, and all students will be able to progress toward their next semester as currently planned.

If at any stage your placement is interrupted by a site closure, a decision to self-isolate or need to undertake carer’s duties, please contact the placement office by emailing bela.Placements@usq.edu.au or by phoning +61 7 4631 2359.

If you have any hours owing from previous clinical placements, it would be very helpful if you could forward that information now, so we can include those hours in our planning.

UniSQ is working hard to prioritise your requirements for completion, especially in the area of clinical placements.

Any Questions?

If you have any other questions or concerns please contact HES.support@usq.edu.au or your course examiner.

Placements are continuing for most students however, all placements are subject to change should there be a resurgence in COVID-19.

In light of the recent lockdown and in accordance with planning for future restrictions, multiple flexible arrangements have been put in place in relation to Post-Graduate psychology placements:

• The UniSQ Ipswich Psychology Clinic is closed until further notice. Affected students are encouraged to use counselling lab and complete work in process, as ethically appropriate. The Ipswich Clinic Director is currently working within team and with UniSQ ICT to address current student access needs, as well as future support if the clinic is required to move to telehealth.
• The UniSQ Toowoomba Psychology Clinic is operating as normal, however students who are affected by the current lockdown restrictions are unable to attend the Toowoomba campus. Affected students are to work directly with the Toowoomba Clinic Director.
• In relation to all external practicum placements, whether the student is enrolled at the Ipswich or Toowoomba campus, or Externally, where students have been affected by the current restrictions they are to additionally follow the advice of the Placement Organisation as to whether they transition to telehealth during this time. Where the placement provider has assessed this option as suitable,  students completing placement activities via work from home arrangements will be covered by UniSQ Insurance. The decision to move to telehealth must be made by the supervisor AND the placement organisation.

Students affected by this restriction are advised to contact their Practicum Coordinator in the first instance. Psychology students are also strongly encouraged to access the Covid-19 vaccination program, as they are considered a priority group under Phase 1b of the program.

COVID-19 had a real impact on sport and exercise placements in 2020, and we may experience times in the future when placement facilities may be forced to close. If this happens, your placement will be placed 'on hold' and you will be notified when you can resume your placement. In some cases a new placement site may need to be sourced. The Placement Coordinator will keep you informed. While on placement, you must follow all health and safety regulations and COVID-19 safe plans as directed by the placement site.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the list of mandatory pre-placement requirements has been extended. All sport and exercise placement students will now need to also complete the following prior to attending placement:
