| Additional Requirements | Prohibited Employment Declaration and Probity Checks: In response to the New South Wales Department of Education and Training's requirement to meet legal obligations in respect to the Commission for Children and Young People Act 1998 and the Child Protection (prohibited Employment) Act 1998, the Faculty of Education, Health and Professional Studies has guidelines regarding students undertaking field experience. All students are required to declare whether they are a prohibited person by completing a Prohibited Employment Declaration with their Enrolment Form. In addition, the New South Wales Department of Education and Training has introduced probity (criminal record) checks for all student teachers participating in unsupervised situations with school students. Education Queensland and ACT Department of Education require probity checks for all students undertaking any school experience in Queensland or ACT. Probity checks may be carried out prior to students undertaking any school experience. Candidates should be aware that they will be subject to probity checks on behalf of potential employers after completing the course and prior to receiving clearance to function as an independent classroom teacher. These requirements are subject to change.

| Practical, Clinical or Work Experience | The professional experience or practicum is a pivotal part of any pre-service teacher education program. Experienced teachers within schools are selected to function as school-based educators of student teachers in supervising the practicum. Students are supported in not only developing essential teaching competencies, but also in thoughtfully combining those practical experiences with theoretical frameworks developed within academic units. Each curriculum area has associated practicum requirements and the co-ordination of enrolment in such linked units is required. Students are required to complete 60 days of supervised professional experience (Practicum 1 - 20 days; Practicum 2 - 20 days; Practicum 3 - 20 days). This time may be structured partly in a dispersed days pattern (internals only) and as block practica of up to four weeks' duration. In addition, students will have the option to select an elective unit within their program which will provide them with an additional 20 days of professional experience. Generally, external candidates are permitted to undertake the practicum in an approved school of their own choice. |
| Scholarships | The University offers a number of Faculty/College and country scholarships available to Australian citizens and permanent residents. |
