Organise your placement with InPlace
Learn how to use the InPlace platform to prepare for and manage your placements.
Getting started
If your course includes compulsory placements, an InPlace account will be created for you when you first enrol. Keep an eye on your student email for the notification. You’ll be able to log in to InPlace with your student ID and usual Federation password.
The dashboard features a ‘To Do’ list and a ‘Notifications’ area, click through these to read more or take action. You’ll also see any confirmed or available placements.
Using InPlace
We help to organise placements for students with a co-operative placement in their course structure or study plan. As soon as an opportunity is booked in, you'll be able to see the details under the ‘Confirmed’ tab in InPlace.
If your course includes professional practice, field placement or clinical practice, you'll need to apply for your own placements – and you'll find opportunities advertised in InPlace.
You’ll need to complete some forms and upload various mandatory documents before your placement can be confirmed. Select ‘My Details’ from the top menu to see the list. Follow the instructions and don’t forget to select ‘Save’ when you’re finished.
Someone from the placement team will then check each document and mark it as either ‘verified’ or ‘rejected’. If any of your documents are rejected, you’ll get a note on your ‘To Do’ list asking you to upload a new file.
You'll receive an email notification when your placement is confirmed. Log into InPlace to view the details.
You might be asked to submit a timesheet or report after your placement is complete. If so, these items will appear at the bottom of the ‘My Details’ page. Follow the instructions and don’t forget to save at the end.
Frequently asked questions
You can only upload files smaller than 30MB. To reduce the size, use Microsoft Lens to scan and save your files (instead of taking a photo) or compress your PDF.
Most students aren't permitted to find their own placements. If your course allows self-sourcing, you'll receive a notification.
If you need to change your placement dates due to unforeseen circumstances, you should apply for special consideration. You'll need to explain the circumstances and proposed new dates, and attach any supporting evidence (e.g. medical certificates). Make sure you use the placement unit code on the form. If you need help, follow our instructional video.
