Notes
- All students in the Division of Health Sciences who, as part of their program, undertake activities where interaction with patients/the public is required, such as in field or clinical placements/visits and in University clinics and gyms, must demonstrate that they have a current National Police Clearance and a current National Criminal History Record Check (Child-Related Clearance) from the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (DCSI), which is valid for the duration of the program. The National Police Check will list disclosable court outcomes that may prevent clinical placement involvement.
- Student registration with the relevant board of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) is required in order to study this program. Students who do not meet registration criteria and are refused registration by AHPRA, or who have their registration rescinded during the program, will be unable to continue in the program. Further information will be provided by the University with offer letters.
- Students will be required to satisfy the standard of dress and behaviour prescribed by institutions and agencies in which field practice is undertaken. Failure to satisfy such requirements may prevent them satisfying the requirements for completion of the program.
- The program requires participation in practical classes where manual skills are practiced. Essential learning activities in some classes may require that students partially remove their clothing to a level that is appropriate to the learning activity. Students may also be asked to act as subjects for their peer group members. If a student is unable to meet these requirements they may be at risk of being unable to successfully complete course objectives and assessments and progress through the program.
- Participation is required in practical classes and clinical placements where students are required to physically handle people including lifting and supporting people with disabilities.
- Students are advised that a current South Australian driver's license may be required by some field practice agencies and a driver's license is considered an advantage for field practice opportunities.
- Students are advised that a "Provide First Aid" certificate must be obtained prior to the commencement of the first field practice component of the program.
- Students are advised that they may be required to spend at least one field practice placement outside of Adelaide in a country or interstate agency.
- Students may be required to undertake field practice placement outside of normal university teaching weeks.
- Year 4 of the program commences early in the First Semester. The total load for the year is 48 units. However, the schedule indicates students are required to enrol in more than 24 units in the first half of the year with the workload staggered across the First Semester to accommodate field practice placements.
- Students who achieve a credit level average in the courses which make up the first and second years of the program may be considered for the Honours program. Normally a quota for places will apply. The invitation to students will be made at the commencement of the third year of the program. Students who successfully complete the Honours program will be awarded a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (Honours).
