Excerpt
nameVP Insurance

Insurance

Students will be covered by Strategix’s insurance arrangements while on VP and only during the hours as agreed upon by the host and student. Insurance coverage will only take effect after Strategix has received the signed Vocational Placement Agreement. Currently employed students will fall under the insurance of their employer.

If the Vocational Placement Agreement is not completed before starting VP, any VP-related assessment you complete, prior to Strategix receiving the Agreement, will not be recognised and you will not be covered under Strategix’s insurance in the event of a workplace accident.

...

The students, VP coordinators, business development team and trainers/assessors are to work with students to source potential VP hosts. Placement details are to be confirmed with the student. The placement of students needs to happen in a timely manner, so students are not disadvantaged by having to wait outside the designated time to complete their placement hours. Required resources and facilities are listed in the Training and Assessment Strategy https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SZ_2SCMGTKO1go_Nbxf1wR__724UDdDHOLKh4tmfiVo/edit#gid=1969277310.

Where a student maintains permanent employment within the industry being studied, they are to gain confirmation from their employer of their intent to complete the tasks as part of their employment.

...

Students must submit/upload all VP documents prior to before commencing the placement, these may include industry-specific clearances and the VP Agreement. Access the Working with Children Applications Policy and Procedure to determine the specific requirements for child-related works. Access the NDIS Worker Screening Policy and Procedure for further instructions for students and staff coming into contact with NDIS clients.

...

  • Locate host profile (if not found, create using the details on the VP Agreement Form)

  • Select the Vocational Placement Mentor Guide template

  • Enter the student’s name in the field provided

  • Save and email

  • Upload the relevant Mentor Guide under the Attachment(s) section

  • Save and send to the host.
