Student Induction Checklist

Welcome to interprofessional learning at ACH Group

ACH Group embraces a learning culture and values the contribution that students make to this culture.

To support students to prepare for their placement at ACH Group we require ALL students to:

  • complete an online pre-placement induction
  • site induction

Additionally, for some tertiary (University) students on block placements (or undertaking project work that requires significant contact with older people), you are required to:

  • attend, a full day of education (called Positively Gold) to orient you to working effectively with older people (includes healthy ageing, dementia support and WH&S et al).

BEFORE COMMENCING PLACEMENT

It is essentialto complete the online induction BEFORE the first day of placement.

Go to web link

and complete the induction module - it will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

  • You will need your police certificate on hand as the online induction will guide you to enter important information on your police certificate.
  • You will also need to demonstrate you have completed the online induction (the system will prompt you when).

You can do this by either:

a)Emailing the page when prompted directly to your ACH Group site supervisor before commencing placement (when prompted in the induction go to file, send, page by email)

b)Printing the page when prompted and bring with you on your first day of placement.

ON YOUR FIRST DAY OF PLACEMENT

  • Please bring this checklist with you as it will continue to guide you through the induction process
  • Ensure you bring your originalNational Criminal History Record Check (NCHRC) orDepartment for Communities and Social Inclusion Letter. Your NCHRC must be no older than 3 years old and must be accompanied by a Statutory Declaration.
