Police Checks
Students who successfully gain a place in the Doctor of Physiotherapy will be required to provide the School with a Victoria Police Record Check, issued in the year of course commencement.
This police check is necessary as organisations, such as hospitals, that provide clinical placements for students require annual police checks to be undertaken in order to assess the suitability of students for placement. International students and students who have lived abroad for more than one year must also provide a police check from their countries of residence.
