Student Code of Conduct

All students should be aware of their home Universities Code of Conduct and any other associated policies. All students must remember that while attending a placement you are a representative of your university and as such you are expected to continue to adhere to their policies.
In addition, your presence in the town and surrounding placement sites are sponsored by Central Qld Centre for Rural & Remote Health (CQCRRH). This means that your conduct also reflects upon the Centre. This includes behaviour at our accommodation which is recognised by the community as a CQCRRH/JCU facility.
Given the size of our towns and surrounding communities it is inevitable that any poor behaviour will be reported back to Centre staff. As such the Centre has developed the following Code of Conduct which seeks to compliment equivalent policies provided by your home university.

Code of Conduct

  • Respect all people with whom you come in contact during your placement.
  • Respect different values, beliefs, cultures and religions.
  • Value the contribution made by people willing to give their time and knowledge to assist you during your placement. This includes, but is not exclusive to, health profession preceptors, co-workers, patients and the public.
  • Be punctual for all placement and CQCRRH organised activities.
  • Abide by the dress code established by your University.
  • Avoid conduct which might reasonably be perceived as discriminating, harassing, bullying or intimidating to others.
  • Conduct yourself in a professional manner whilst undertaking your placement.
  • Maintain the highest standards of academic integrity during your placement.
  • Observe confidentiality of all patients or clients and familiarise yourself with the confidentiality requirements of the organisation where the placement is being undertaken.
  • Respect CQCRRH property and the facilities, such as accommodation, library, computing and laboratory resources.

Students must not engage in any conduct that:

  • Impairs the reasonable freedom of other persons to pursue their placement or studies.
  • Is otherwise detrimental to the operation of CQCRRH or causes damage to CQCRRH property or reputation.
  • Contravenes federal, state or local law.
  • Reflects badly upon CQCRRH or the student’s home university.
