Clinical education during the COVID-19 pandemic

As health service providers respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, some student placements have been paused or cancelled. The Australian Government, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (Ahpra), national boards and accreditation authorities, want to encourage student placements to continue where this is safe and possible, recognising that health services and supervising clinicians will need to balance the risks and benefits to students and the health workforce.

A set of principles for student clinical education have been developed to help guide these decisions.
