Exercise science and clinical exercise physiology professional experience placement

Bachelor of Exercise Science/ Masters of Clinical Exercise Physiology

If you're studying an undergraduate exercise science, or postgraduate clinical exercise physiology degree you are required to participate in professional placements as part of your degree.

Placements may occur at any time of the year and may include shifts outside normal business hours and across a seven-day week roster. It is recommended that you do not book holidays or make travel arrangements until your placement has been confirmed on InPlace. Placements occur in a range of formats attended over several weeks and in a variety of locations that may include metropolitan, rural and remote areas.

Rural placements

Exercise science/clinical exercise physiology students may consider a rural or remote placement during their course. A rural venue is defined by the Australian Statistical Geography Standard Remoteness Areas 2-5.

Rural placements will provide unique opportunities and challenges that aid in developing your personal independence and professional skills. Keep in mind that they will require you to be adaptable, flexible, resourceful, able to tolerate periods of solitude, and able to complete academic work independently if necessary.

When rural and remote placements become available, the placement unit will negotiate via email to nominate your preferred rural placement. Note: this is a first-come first-served system.
