Introduction

Bass Coast Health (BCH) participates in work experience programs for Secondary students in non-clinical areas and limited VCAL placements within the clinical environment.

The work experience student program is planned and implemented to ensure a coordinated approach across departments with consideration shown to service delivery requirements, availability and capacity of employees to supervise the placement and the learning objectives of the student.
