Vocational Placement:

All students will be required to complete either a Vocational Placement Log Book or if an Existing worker, a Workplace log book of at least 120 hours of direct care within an approved aged care facility or community services organisation.  Em-Care Pty Ltd will assist students with obtaining placement with leading Aged Care Providers and will provide supervision, mentoring and support while on placement.

Vocational placement is structured workplace learning; a vocational placement student log book is developed to support you to meet the requirements of all tasks to be completed during your placement. Vocational Placement is an important part of the program that has been designed for students to apply the theoretical knowledge gained to a practical level in a workplace environment. This practical approach to learning will prepare students to ease into 120 hours of on-the-job training required to gain the qualification. All students undertaking vocational placement will be required to organise their own transportation to and from the vocational placement host organisation’s facility.

Security clearances are required (e.g., police check, valid blue card and/or yellow card) in order for the student to be eligible to undertake practical and/or vocational placement.

Additionally, individual host organisations may have different requirements regarding vaccinations. Please discuss these with the trainer during the enrolment process. Please note there are mandatory vaccination requirements within each State and it is up to the student to ensure they are complying with their own state, territory legislation and workplace organisation policies and procedures. It will be necessary for all students to provide proof of vaccinations upon enrolment.
