Pre placement RDNS requirements include:

A completed and signed Confidentiality Statement (Pg 2 of this document)

A completed and signed Student Contact Form (Pg 3 of this document)

A certified National Police check. If you have a fit2work National Police

History Check Report you can email a copy of this which does not need to be
certified.

A certified copy of your WWC card (face up). We also need a copy of your WWC
status, stating you are a volunteer. This can be found here:
https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/wwccu/checkstatus.doj Simply print off a screen
shot with your details.

All completed, certified and signed documents must be sent through to

clinicalplacements@rdns.com.au. We expect these documents 2 weeks prior to your
placement. If we havent received your documents as detailed above your placement
can be cancelled. We did cancel placements last year due to students failing to follow
these pre placement instructions.

Once these documents have been received we will confirm your placement, and
advise the RDNS site so they can contact you to arrange an appropriate meeting
place and time.

Please be mindful that our nurses work remotely and do not have a printer. Any
paper attendance records or assessments will need to be printed by yourself prior to
your placement. The nurses all have a laptops so electronic assessments will not be
an issue.

You need to read the Clinical Placement Student Handbook before your placement

Wishing you all the best for your community placement!
