Will I need to wear a uniform?

Yes, whilst on clinical placement you will be required to wear black or navy pants, white collared shirt and black enclosed non-slip shoes. All students are issued with an official ID from the University of Ballarat which you are expected to wear at all times whilst on clinical placement.

"This is the best course one can go through. It is short but equips you well to meet challenges. The course content is concise but covers all essentials one needs to know about Australia and its health care system. The course is delivered in a phased manner and tries to bring out all innate potentials in an individual. It also brought out in me a quest to know more and do my best. Above all there is always some one to guide you and see that you reach the other end as desired. Come and join us- it is fun and challenging!" (January 2009 Intake).
