ASAR registration - Please wait until you know you have passed MEDS12004 before ASAR registration. This check can be left blank until you know you are eligible for MEDS12007 placement.
WA Students - HEP A is no longer required as part of your pre-clinical immunisation records.
VIC Police checks - Students have access to a code which gives you a student discount for your VIC Police Check. However this form needs to be signed by a CQU staff member. Therefore there will be some leniency for VIC students submitting their Police check past the due date and until restrictions ease and you can return to campus.
