In Tasmania, the Professional Experience Office organises placements on behalf of students. As per the Professional Experience guidelines, under no circumstances are students to contact schools in Tasmania to organise their own placement. To assist us with allocating students to an appropriate placement, all students complete a placement application in InPlace (our placement management system).
If you are a student based outside of Tasmania, please refer to the Interstate Student Webpage for more information.
