Police Checks

Organisations that host clinical students require a police check regarding their suitability to undertake a placement. Therefore enrolled and prospective students need to obtain and pay for police checks before commencing and during the physiotherapy course. Applicants living locally may print a copy of the "Consent to Check and Release National Police Record - Application Form" which is available from the Victoria Police website at: http://www.police.vic.gov.au/content.asp?Document_ID=274

For  details on the policy and instructions for completing applications refer to:
Faculty Policy on Police Checks (.pdf).

Subject Manuals

Many postgraduate subjects have a subject manual which you will need to purchase from the University Professional Bookshop, located on the corner of Grattan and Berkeley Streets, Carlton. Subject manuals are usually available a couple of days prior to classes commencing.
