Clinical placements

We offer more than 2,000 nursing, midwifery and allied health student placements a year. This is in partnership with the Sunshine Coast Health Institute (SCHI) partners and other Education Providers (EPs).

To apply for a placement, you’ll need to talk to your education provider. We don’t accept requests direct from students.

If you’re an education provider and have a student who is interested, check if your education provider has a current Deed and Memorandum of Understanding.

Our SCHI education partners

  • University of the Sunshine Coast
  • TAFE Queensland
  • Griffith University.

Graduate opportunities

We also offer graduate opportunities for nurses and midwives.
