James Cook University Subject Handbook - 2003

Students are advised that all subjects are offered on condition that staff and resources are available.

Queensland Health requires that all health care worker students be immunised against Hepatitis B prior to their first clinical placement within a Queensland Health Facility. Consequently, the Faculty of Medicine, Health and Molecular Sciences has developed an Infectious Diseases policy to assist in the management of this requirement. The policy requires immunisation for Hepatitis B prior to the first clinical placement. It is a condition of enrolment that all students will comply with the Faculty’s Infectious Diseases policy or any amended or substituted policy applying at the time of placement. Students should ensure that they read the policy before deciding to proceed to enrolment.
