AHCSA delivers training in Adelaide to students who live across South Australia. Many students are employed by Aboriginal Medical Services or Government health services that support their participation in training.
AHCSA will take reasonable measures to ensure that accommodation is safe. Students will be asked to abide by the Student Code of Conduct, and any house rules while in the accommodation. Accidents, injuries or incidents of concern that occur at the accommodation site must be reported to RTO Staff.
AHCSA will book travel, accommodation and meal arrangements necessary for students to attend training. All arrangements will strictly be within the limits of the Australian Governments, Away From Base (AFB) funding guidelines.
All personal expenses and any travel, accommodation and meal expenses that do not meet AFB guidelines will be paid for by the student, or if their employer has agreed to do so, by their employer.
Students will be asked to reimburse AHCSA for arrangements made that they did not keep. This may include:
All personal and medical appointments must be outside of scheduled study hours. Appointments during study time will be calculated, recorded on the attendance sheet and withheld from the next training block travel allowance.
Students must not book doctors or other appointments during study hours. Students are expected to attend all classes.
All flights booked for students will be the cheapest full fare available from that location. Mileage allowance will only be paid to a student if no flight is available or a medical certificate is provided to support a student’s inability to fly. Receipts for purchase of fuel will be required to be provided to AHCSA for students travelling by personal vehicle.
All students who choose to stay in accommodation provided by AHCSA will be booked into a two bedroom shared apartment with another student of the same gender. Students will never be asked to share with a student of a different gender.
If a student has a medical condition which restricts them from being able to share accommodation, a medical certificate must be provided and the RTO Manager will consider the situation and make a decision on options in the students and AHCSA’s interest. It is important to note a medical certificate will not guarantee a private room.
Any additional costs incurred during the students stay at AHCSA provided accommodation will be the responsibility of the student. This includes, but is not limited to, any damages, cleaning costs, fire alarm activation, phone, car-parking or internet charges.
Students can choose to arrange their own accommodation if they prefer. This is done so at the student’s own cost. If a student chooses not to stay at AHCSA arranged accommodation they are responsible for all accommodation costs and transport to and from their chosen accommodation site for the duration of their stay.
Throughout the website the term Aboriginal is used in this context to include people who identify as Aboriginal, people who identify as Torres Strait Islander Peoples and people who identify as both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. It is also used interchangeably with the term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander.
