Description

Note: There are fortnightly seminars of two hours, making the equivalent of one hour per week.

Students are allocated to a social welfare agency to undertake field-based learning under the supervision of an academic and qualified field educator. Practica occur in a range of traditional and contemporary settings and contexts, such as hospitals, local governments, state and federal government departments, as well as non-government, community based organisations. Performance is monitored and assessed by the University, in consultation with the field educator and student. This practicum begins in late-January with a five-week full-time block period, then reduces to three days a week during Session 1.
