12 Safety

Your safety on placement, including when you are travelling to and from your placement, is one of UQ’s highest priorities. However, you also have a responsibility to prioritise your own personal safety.
Please take time to read over the resources on Your personal safety on placement, for staying safe on placement – we recommend you review these regularly. Remember, safety includes both physical as well as psychosocial safety. The Qld Police Adult Safety website has great advice on how you can stay safe.
Student Support
In the first instance you should contact your UQ WIL Placement Coordinator or Course Coordinator for assistance with your placements. However, if this is not possible or preferred, there are other options available to students seeking support. Contact details can be found on Your personal safety on placement.
