Work Placement in Melbourne

Melbourne is where most of our host network sits. Whether you are studying in the CBD, the western growth corridor, the south-east or the north, we place students into aged care homes, early learning centres, disability services, hospitals and community organisations across the metropolitan area — and we manage the placement from the first call through to your final signed hours.

Areas we cover

Suburbs in the Melbourne catchment

We weigh travel time when we match. Tell us your suburb and whether you drive, and we will look for a host within a reasonable commute rather than sending you across the city.

Where Melbourne students are placed

Aged care

Residential aged care homes and home-care providers across the metro area, including the large not-for-profit groups and independent single-site homes.

Early childhood

Long day care centres, kindergartens and outside-school-hours services in every Melbourne council area.

Disability

NDIS-registered supported independent living, day programs and community participation providers.

Allied health

Public and private clinics, rehabilitation units and community health services.

Local context

Why placement works differently here

Melbourne's care workforce is under sustained pressure, which is precisely why host placements can be hard to find on your own. Providers get approached by dozens of students each intake and most simply do not have the administrative capacity to answer them all. We hold standing relationships with our hosts, so your request goes to a facility that has already told us it has supervision capacity this month.

Every student moves through the same nine stages. Students, RTOs and host facilities all see the same live status — no status emails, no chasing.

Questions

Melbourne placement questions

Most Melbourne students are matched within days rather than weeks, because we are drawing on host workplaces that have already confirmed capacity with us. Timing depends on your qualification, your availability and how far you can travel.

No. We work with students who are already enrolled with an RTO and with people still choosing a course. If you are not enrolled yet, we can point you to registered providers delivering the qualification you want.

The whole metropolitan area, from the western growth corridor through to the outer east and south-east. Our office is in Melbourne's west, so our host density is highest there, but we place across all council areas.

Talk to us about your situation. Fees depend on the arrangement between you, your RTO and us — some RTOs engage us directly on behalf of their whole cohort.
