Hepatitis B
It is a requirement of Queensland Health that all students, who might be exposed to human body fluids while undertaking placement in QHealth facilities, MUST provide documentary evidence of Hepatitis B immunization.
Failure to do so may result in denied or delayed access to the placement. More details are available from your School's Student Information Centre.
Note: All Nursing students MUST provide documentary evidence of Hepatitis B immunization for placement in any healthcare facility.
QHealth Student Orientation Package
It is also a requirement of Queensland Health that all students undertaking a clinical placement in a QHealth facility complete the Essentials component of the student orientation package which is available on the Queensland Health web site.
Failure to do so may result in denied or delayed access to the placement. Students are required to complete and sign the Queensland Health checklist and submit it to their School.
