As you begin your pathway through your Allied Health studies, you will be attaining a broad range of diverse skills and acquiring knowledge vital to your professional success. One of those skills will be meeting and managing a range of Fit to Practice requirements such as:
security checks
health protection evidence
signed documentation
training modules
as well as additional training modules and certification as requested by individual hospitals or clinics.
As you progress through your program, it is your responsibility to keep your Fit To Practice current, as you won't be able to attend your placements if there is any task that has not been completed or has become out of date. If this occurs, your advancement through the program may be reviewed and you may be held back.
Completing your Fit To Practice evidence can be daunting and even more so if you are coming from overseas. With that in mind, we cannot stress enough how important it is to make a start on your tasks while still in your home country. There is much you can do! In fact, most of your tasks can and should be done ahead of time and before you leave.
Below is a list of all the Fit To Practice evidence that you can complete prior to arriving in Australia: • Hep B vaccination & serology evidence • MMR vaccination or serology evidence • dTpa vaccination evidence • Varicella vaccination or serology evidence • NSW Health Blood Borne Virus form • NSW Health Student Declaration Form/Undertaking form • NSW TB Assessment Form • NSW Health Code of Conduct • ClinConnect & AIR Permission Form • QLD Health Student Deed Poll • QLD Health Allied Health Student Training and Evidence Record • QLD Health iLearn Training • Overseas Police Check • COVID vaccination/s approved or recognised by the Australian TGA
** See drop downs below for full information on how to complete each task.
It is in your best interest to get all the above tasks completed before you leave because once you arrive in Queensland you will be very busy settling in, studying and completing the remainder of your Fit To Practice requirements . So, the more you can get done prior departing your home country the better. It will also fast track your becoming Fit To Practice so you are not risking your eligibility to attend placement due to late compliance submission and verification.
Some tasks can only be completed on arrival into Queensland. This takes time and we are here to support you in completing those as soon as possible once you arrive:
QLD Working With Children Check and NDIS Disability Clearance Check (combined application)
QLD Health Student Orientation Checklist
Australian Police Check
CPR and First Aid
Influenza vaccination
COVID vaccinations if received in Australia or TGA approved/recognised
National Hand Hygiene Training
Bond University Student ID card
** See drop downs below for full information on how to complete each task.
Make a start on your Fit To Practice tasks early (you will be glad you did!) and please reach out to us [email protected] if you need any extra support either pre- or post-arrival into Queensland. We are here to help and look forward to seeing you soon!
You are required to upload your Fit to Practice evidence during Orientation Week and be fully Fit to Practice by Week 6 (unless undertaking vaccination schedules. Please contact us at [email protected] if this is the case.
If you are a current student, please refer to the Osler emails notifying you that a task is due to expire. It will detail the timeframes you have to renew the requirement. If you allow a task to elapse, it may hold you back from attending placements.

To be eligible to attend clinical placement, all students must complete a QLD Health Student Deed Poll for the Hospital and Health Service (HHS) that is relevant to the Qld Health facility you are attending. You must have a new Deed Poll in place for each different HHS you attend. See here for HHS list for each site.
The Qld Health Student Deed Poll confirms the contractual relationship between you (as a student), Bond University and the Hospital and Health Service that you are attending. This document is a record of your agreement to attend and participate in your pre-entry clinical placement under the terms that are stated in the Deed Poll. This is a legal document and you must:
sign the form and have it witnessed (witness can be a classmate/family member etc)
and you both must write your name in full, sign and date the final page of the Deed Poll.
(For an EXAMPLE form highlighting required fields click here)
Why is a NEW Student Deed Poll required for each placement?
As the obligations agreed by you as part of the Student Deed Poll relate to only the placement for which the Deed Poll is signed and ends at the completion of the placement, a NEW Student Deed Poll is required for each placement. All students must initially have a Deed Poll in place for ‘Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service’ when they first commence in the program. As your program progresses and you are placed at various Qld Health facilities, you must provide a new Deed Poll for each HHS you attend.

Health protection evidence
During your program, you’ll be dealing with private and public patients and clients, professional athletes, members of the community and vulnerable people. Ensuring your immunity to infectious diseases is essential for their protection, as well as your own.
We suggest you work through the three steps to health protection with a medical professional. Attaining full immunity and verification for placement can take a few months, so it is important to start early.
Please be aware that in certain specialised clinical settings and in some health facilities there may be additional vaccinations or other evidence of protection required to ensure that the risk to vulnerable patients is minimised. This can occur at any stage throughout your program. You will be advised if Fit To Practice requirements change or if additional vaccinations or evidence are required for your placement.
Bond University works with NSW Health’s Clinical Nurse Specialist (Immunisation) to verify your immunity to infectious diseases and authorise you to undertake clinical placement at Australian health facilities. You cannot attend placement if you are not verified and compliant.
Immunisation compliance requirements are strict. You must provide all required evidence for each disease, or you will not be eligible for placement and your progress through the program will be affected.
Please also be aware, that while we review submission of documents initially, your health protection evidence will be further verified by a NSW Health Clinical Immunisation Specialist Nurse. You will be contacted directly if further action is required.
Protecting yourself through vaccination will help to protect the people you care for, your family and community from the impacts of COVID-19 including serious illness, hospitalisation and death. Vaccination continues to be important in managing the risks related to COVID-19 in high-risk settings
Many placement providers continue to mandate evidence of further Covid-19 vaccinations, particularly Aged Care facilities. Students attending placement at these facilities are expected to comply with the individual facility requirements, including the specific number of doses required as determined by that facility.
Bond University’s Fit to Practice directive is that Medical and Allied Health students provide evidence of having received a minimum of one single primary dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
Regular booster vaccinations are highly recommended as per the guidelines
There are 2 options for you to provide evidence of COVID-19 vaccination:
An Immunisation History Statement – displays all vaccinations or medical contraindications and authorised exemptions, including COVID-19, that have been reported to the Australian Immunisation Register.
For international students who have had COVID-19 vaccines administered overseas, official overseas COVID-19 vaccination records are acceptable evidence if the Fit To Practice Coordinator is satisfied that the evidence is from a legitimate source, the vaccine is approved for use or recognised in Australia by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and it was received on or after 1 March 2020.
Note: Vaccination records recorded in a foreign language must be officially translated by either using the Free Translating Service website provided by the Department of Home Affairs or using a local translation service.
dTPa: Diptheria, Tetanus and Pertussis (Whooping cough).
One adult dose of dTpa vaccine - valid for 10years from date of vaccination.
If your dTpa vaccination will expire during your program, you will need to have a new Adacel or Boostrix vaccination at the commencement of your program to meet compliance requirements.
If you were born in or have spent 12 weeks in your lifetime or more in countries considered high-risk for TB, you will need to undertake TB screening in Australia.
If screening is required, you will need to request an Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA) TB Quantiferon test from your doctor. Not all pathology collection centres can perform the test, it’s a good idea to call your nearest centre first to check.

Being Fit To Practice is your responsibility, but we are here to help you, so it is important to respond immediately to any emails or phone calls from the Fit To Practice team. If you fail to respond to communications, your case will be escalated to the Clinical Placements Manager and your Phase Lead/Head of Program. Do not ignore your Fit To Practice responsibilities. The Fit To Practice Co-ordinator is available to assist you via telephone, email or by face-to-face training (by appointment). Email [email protected] to reach out for assistance.
IMPORTANT: You cannot attend placement if you are non-compliant.
What happens if you cannot attend placement due to non-compliance?
Attendance at placement is a requirement for both your competency-based assessment and in-semester assessment so if you miss placement due to non-compliance, you risk failing your course and not progressing in your program. Students must be fully Fit To Practice before placement, or your placement will be cancelled.
While most of your requirements will remain valid for the duration of your program, certain evidence or tasks will expire, and must be renewed before expiry.
These can include, but are not limited to: • Police Check - every 3 years • Blue Card - every 3 years • BBV - every 3 years • CPR - every 12 months and First Aid - every 3 years • Influenza vaccination - every 12 months • Qld Health iLearn training modules - every 12 months (two modules only - Code of Conduct and First-response evacuation instructions & Building emergency procedures)
In the months leading up to the expiry date you will receive three automated reminder emails prompting you to renew your expiring compliance. Please do not ignore or leave these courtesy emails unactioned and ensure your tasks are renewed prior totheirexpiry.
Don’t leave expiring tasks until the last minute; ensure you complete each task early to allow for time, opportunity and the unexpected. Upload your updated evidence to Osler. Communication is key, so it is essential that you get in contact with us if you have any questions or are having trouble completing certain tasks. Email [email protected] .
IMPORTANTIf you have ignored these emails or failed to complete these tasks, and allow them to expire, you will be prohibited from attending placement or removed from placement effective immediately. You will also receive a non-compliance notification that your case has been escalated to the Placements Manager and your Phase Lead/Head of Program.
Bond University's Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine and our partnered health facilities do not honour conscientious objection to vaccinations.
If you are a 'non-responder' to one or more vaccines or have contraindications to vaccinations, we recommend you consult with an infectious disease physician to discuss risks and options prior to undertaking your chosen program.
If you are pregnant during your studies, specific guidelines apply to ensure the wellbeing of both you and your baby and that you receive the support you need. Download the Pregnancy and your studies guidelines.
Undertaking a Health Sciences and Medicine program can be physically and emotionally demanding.
Please let us know if you have special needs we can accommodate to help you succeed in your studies. If you are pregnant, have conscientious objections to vaccinations, a criminal conviction or health challenges that may make it difficult to complete the requirements of your program or register to practice with your relevant registration board, please seek guidance from the Faculty's Office of Student Affairs & Service Quality prior to commencing your program (or during your program if your circumstances change).
