All students MUST bring a current Police Check to be sighted at placement orientation. Statutory declarations are also required in addition to police checks for any staff or volunteers who have been a citizen or permanent resident of a country other than Australia after the age of 16 (Click here for more information). If you expect to be in regular, direct or unsupervised contact with children during your placement, a Working with Children Check is also required.

The Police, Statutory Declaration and Working with Children Check must be dated within 12 months of estimated completion of clinical placement at Benalla Health.

Failure to present the above documents will result in your placement being suspended until you can produce such documentation.

If you have attended placement at Benalla Health before, you are required to re read the material and complete and sign the Student Orientation Checklist.

The confidentiality agreement and the hand hygiene package are only required to be completed once every 12 months however, you still need to bring them with you for each placement to be sighted at placement orientation.
