At this time UQ is committed to supporting our students' progress with their studies and placement activities wherever possible. Therefore, unless there are further directives from Queensland Health or the Australian Government, our students can continue with their placements within existing parameters.
The health and safety of our students and the staff within your organisation are of paramount importance. As such, placements can continue where it is safe to do so and where the organisation is able to continue to facilitate the placement engagement. All existing UQ insurances will continue to apply where the claim is not related to COVID-19.
As this situation is continually evolving, we recommend the use of online collaborative tools such as Zoom or Skype if on-site work is not possible.
Should you need to change your organisation’s placement arrangements, or if you have any questions related to the student placement you are hosting, please contact the student's placement coordinator.
