Abstract
![CDATA[This chapter reports on a project that was undertaken at the University of Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The Faculty of Health at the University of Canberra comprises the disciplines of nursing and midwifery; nutrition and dietetics;, occupational therapy; pharmacy; physiotherapy; psychology; and sport studies. Each of these disciplines has unique characteristics, including distinct workplace practices, professional registration requirements and, as a consequence, divergent curricula. A commonality is that all of these disciplines include student clinical or field placements in relevant environments. These placements are a means for students to achieve the learning outcomes of their courses and for the courses to meet certain practice and regulation requirements set by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency.]]
