Why attend Clinical Placement?
Students completing HLT41120 Certificate IV in Health Care and HLT51020 Diploma of Emergency Health Care qualifications are required to attend Clinical Placement for hands-on supervised learning and practical experience in real-life emergency situations. This is a mandatory qualification package requirement set by the regulator. Through Clinical Placements, students gain a comprehensive understanding and experience related to the pre-hospital and out-of-hospital healthcare and patient transport services. This offers them an opportunity to apply their learned skills in real life situations and gain the required experience to be able to join the workforce.
Clinical Placements can begin as soon as the student has completed their first set of Clinical Intensive Workshops with Heed Health Education satisfactorily. Clinical Placements continue throughout the duration of the course.

Clinical Placement Settings
- Aged Care Facility
- Defence Force
- Emergency Services Offices (e.g., medic in the mines)
- Event Medical Services
- General Practitioners
- Medical Centres
- Patient Transport Services
- State Ambulance Services
- Sporting Associations
- Theme Parks (with a first aid services team)
- Community nursing organisations
The idea is to offer students an opportunity to gain experience in a variety of pre-hospital and out-of-hospital settings as this helps expand the employment opportunities to work in the health care industry.
All students are to source and secure their own placements. Heed Health Education will inform students and companies of any available placement opportunities from time to time, but students are to locate, follow up and apply for placements.
Clinical Placement Requirements
Before attending Clinical Placement, students will be required to provide evidence of:
- Current Working with Children’s check
- Current CPR (HLTAID011/HLTAID003) and First Aid (HLTAID009) certificates
- National Police Clearance
- Flu and any other vaccination as required by the employer organisation
