Online learning

To enable your full participation in the virtual learning environment (for example participating in online activities and engaging with online learning materials) you need access to a reliable computer with an internet connection, webcam, headset and microphone.

You will also need a learning environment where you are able to fully participate undisturbed when required.

Education students

You may have to pay extra costs (for example travel and accommodation) if your course requires off-campus activities such as:

  • practical investigations
  • Work Integrated Learning (WIL)
  • embedded professional experience
  • professional experience placements.

Students undertaking professional experience will need to reduce working commitments during this period in order to maintain the required full-time attendance and related planning activities.

All education courses

Items you have to pay for Cost for 2024
International professional experience (optional) Approximately $5,000-$10,000 (flights, accommodation, living expenses etc.) depending on the overseas country chosen.
Rural and remote professional experience (optional) Approximately $1,000-$2,000, (travel accommodation, living expenses etc.) depending on the location in Queensland.
Brisbane-based professional experience Students should check local travel arrangements for costs (e.g. bus, train, car, ferries etc.)

Literacy and numeracy test for initial teacher education students

If you study an initial teacher education course (undergraduate and postgraduate) at QUT, i.e. Bachelor of Education or Master of Teaching course, you must pass a national Literacy and Numeracy Test for Initial Teacher Education Students before you complete your course. The test will assess your personal literacy and numeracy skills.

For continuing students who commenced in 2020 or prior, QUT provides you with one reimbursement to cover the cost of the test but won't pay for any administration charges you incur if you don't sit your test. If you don't pass the test, you will have to pay for any additional times you take the test.

Working with children (blue card)

For Queensland and international professional experience placements, you need a blue card. This involves a criminal history check so that you can undertake professional experience in a school or site, or activities in any unit which may involve contact with children or young people (under the age of 18).

As a QUT student, you can apply for a blue card through QUT for free. Submit your blue card application to HiQ as soon as you've received your offer. To be eligible to start your placement, you must submit your blue card application, renewal or linking form to HiQ at least 10 weeks before the start of professional experience.

If you don't receive your blue card (or link your existing valid card to QUT) before the start of professional experience or a unit where you'll be working with children, you may not be able to participate and your grades may be affected. You may also be liable to pay fees for the unit.

For placements in other Australian states and territories, you must fulfill that state's or territory's requirements for working with children and provide the Professional Experience Office with a copy.

Placement costs

Students in all Faculty of Health courses (including double degrees) who are required to undertake placements off-campus may have additional costs, such as:

  • hepatitis B vaccination
  • other vaccinations
  • first aid or CPR courses
  • uniforms (including footwear)
  • criminal history checks
  • health and fitness tests
  • equipment
  • travel (e.g. public transport, your vehicle expenses, parking)
  • accommodation (for rural and regional placements).

In your financial planning, it's important to consider that you may have to reduce or temporarily cease your work commitments during placements to maintain the required attendance.

You're required to maintain suitable dress standards in clinical and placement situations. You may need to budget for some items in addition to the uniform requirements for a course.

Technology

You'll need access to a reliable computer with an internet connection, webcam, headset and microphone as we conduct many health units using blended learning modes and deliver learning material electronically.

Hepatitis B and COVID-19 vaccinations

Hepatitis B and COVID-19 vaccination is highly recommended for all Health students, but is required for many placements and is mandatory in healthcare facilities. Costs of hepatitis B vaccinations vary from $70 for a three-injection course at theQUT Medical Centre, up to $150 from other providers.

A standard three-injection course plus verification of immunity by blood test may take up to a year to complete, so planning for this vaccination should begin early.

Other vaccinations

Diphtheria, Measles, Mumps, Pertussis (Whooping Cough), Rubella, Tetanus and Varicella (Chicken Pox) vaccinations are mandatory for all students attending a healthcare facility for placement.

Hepatitis A, Influenza and Poliomyelitis are highly recommended for all health students.

These and other vaccinations are available from theQUT Medical Centre.

First aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

If you require senior first aid training or CPR training for your placement (including refresher training), it must be a nationally recognised course with one of the following course codes:

  • HLTAID011 (Provide First AID including CPR)
  • HLTAID012 (Provide an emergency first aid response in an education and care setting)
  • HLTAID009 (only if submitting annual CPR refresher).

Some course providers include:

First aid certifications need to be updated every three years, and the CPR component every 12 months.

Tuberculosis screening

Students may be required to undertake a tuberculosis screening test. Skin testing is available from theClinical TB Serviceat Princess Alexandra Hospital. This is a free service for health care workers and student health care workers, however, waitlists may be long. Instead of a skin test, students can also undertake a blood test (QuantiFERON-TB-Gold).

Blue cards

Students must undergo a criminal history check for working with children and be issued with a suitability card (blue card) before commencing clinical placement/practicum in an organisation where they may work with children or young people.

You must submit your blue card application to HiQ as early as possible to ensure you have your card before you begin any unit that requires contact with young people and children. There is no charge for student blue cards. Students who already have a blue card must register it with QUT.

Criminal history check

Students undertaking placement in an aged care setting, Queensland Health or a private hospital facility are required to complete a criminal history check. It must be a national police check through the Australian Federal Police or Queensland Police Service. Third party checks are not accepted.

Medical assessment
