Student Placement
A work placement is a period of supervised work, where you’ll have the opportunity to experience working in a specific role with an organisation.
SAHSSI has two intake placement programs each year and they are as follows:
Intake 1 - 3rd week in November (placement interview end of November)
Intake 2 - 1st week in June (placement interview 3rd week in June)
If you are studying Certificate IV in Community Services and/or above and you would like to request student-placement with SAHSSI, please fill in the form below and we will be in contact with you during our intake period.
In order to assist you with student placements we will request a current working with children’s check (WWCC) and date of birth.
