All Charles Darwin University (CDU) courses have Inherent Requirements, which are entry requirements that students need to be able to demonstrate to complete their course. Professionally accredited courses must also ensure that the students enrolled in them, meet the professional conduct standards while undertaking placements. Hence, CDU has a responsibility to ensure that students meet their course requirements and demonstrate the necessary abilities, skills, and behaviours, including being medically, physically, and psychologically capable of successfully undertaking workplace placements. This is deemed Fitness to Practice. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner consistent with the University’s Code of Conduct – Students and the relevant codes or guidelines issued by the professional body, registering authority, or placement provider.  \nThe inherent requirements identify the attributes students need to be able to meet the professional standards of behaviour and conduct to achieve their course learning outcomes and therefore become registered professionals (where applicable) with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency (APHRA) . Students in the Faculty of Health will be required to provide care to patients/clients from diverse backgrounds and meet their course's professional standards as part of their placement. Therefore, all students must establish and maintain their medical, physical, and psychological capabilities while on placement.  \nThe Fitness to Practice Declaration is a self-assessment that students are required to complete annually to inform the university about any ongoing medical, physical, or psychological concerns, or previous criminal convictions. It is designed to promote early intervention so that CDU can provide guidance and support to balance the student needs with patient safety and safeguard the University and host organisations. If a student presents themselves to a WIL site (placement) they are declaring themselves‘fit to practice’.  \nWhere a student has not disclosed any medical, physical, or psychological condition but university staff are concerned about the student's capability to meet the fitness to practice requirements, they may be required to undertake a Health Assessment before being considered for a placement.  \nFailure to maintain fitness to practice is dependent on the profession, but the following behaviours may raise concerns regarding a student's fitness to practice and should be discussed with their course coordinator.  \n• Not complying with contractual and pre-placement requirements.  \n• Not attending all scheduled placement hours, including induction and training sessions.  \n• Unprofessional behaviours and attitudes (including social media) .  \n• Being dishonest or disrespectful at any time.  \n• Being intimidating or discriminative to a patient/client, host organisation, university staff, or fellow students.  \n• Performing in a manner inconsistent with the profession's standards.  \n• Disclosing confidential information.  \n• Drug or alcohol misuse.  \n• Acting in a violent or aggressive manner.  \n• A disability or health condition that impairs the student's capability.  \n• A conviction (or found guilty) of an offense punishable by imprisonment in Australia and/or oversees.  \n• Not being able to control emotions in emergencies, during patient/client suffering, or in a way that could cause distress to staff, fellow students, patients/clients, or the community.  \n• Incorrectly performing drug calculations.  \n• Missing important medical alerts, such as drug or food allergies, which impact the patient’s/client’s safety.  \n• Unable to undertake physical tasks.  \n• Making recommendatio","cbCairiu5cUiQOGW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairiu5cUiQOGW","pdf",282546,"English","# Fitness to Practice (WIL) - Student Information\n## Professional standards and inherent requirements\n## Fitness to Practice Declaration and self-assessment\n## Health Assessment and when placement may be affected\n## Behaviours and circumstances that raise concerns\n## Risk, mandatory notifications, and student support","[{\"question\":\"What does “Fitness to Practice” mean for WIL students?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to meeting course inherent requirements and maintaining medical, physical, and psychological capability to safely undertake workplace placements according to professional conduct standards.\"},{\"question\":\"What is the Fitness to Practice Declaration and when is it completed?\",\"answer\":\"It is a student self-assessment completed annually to inform the university about ongoing medical, physical, or psychological concerns and any previous criminal convictions.\"},{\"question\":\"Can a student still undertake a placement if they have a health or disability concern?\",\"answer\":\"Yes.
