Successful candidates will be asked to apply for provisional registration and provide a police check, working with children check and evidence of appropriate professional indemnity insurance and/ or APS membership as part of the enrolment process.
Applicants will be ranked on the basis of academic merit (based on the transcripts provided), previous work experience and/or training, and academic and professional referee reports.
Short-listed applicants will be invited to attend an interview/assessment and a decision will be made during this process to select candidates for the program.
