UQ is committed to supporting our students to progress with their studies including undertaking Work Integrated Learning (WIL), Work Experience (WE), placements, internships and field trips where possible.
The health and safety of our students and the staff of our partner organisations is of paramount importance. Therefore WIL, WE, placements, internships and field trips can continue where it is safe to do so and where organisations are able to continue to facilitate this engagement, subject to restrictions and directions from the Queensland Government.
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. Please make sure that you notify your Placement Coordinator if you need to engage in any placement activity from your home.
UQ’s personal accident insurance and third-party liability insurance (public liability, professional indemnity and medical malpractice) continue to apply to students undertaking approved WIL, WE, placements, internships and field trips. Cover is subject to full policy terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions.
For more information on travel insurance refer to UQ Travel COVID-19 FAQs.
For specific questions about other types of insurance please contact UQ Insurance Services.
Please contact your faculty or school, or your placement coordinator, for further advice.
