Townsville Hospital and Health Service Requirements

Townsville Hospital and Health Service (THHS) requires all students undertaking a placement at a THHS facility, including regional hospitals and community health centres, to complete Fire and Emergency Response Training.

If you are undertaking a placement at Townsville University Hospital, please complete the training for the Main Hospital Building (Ground Level and Levels 1, 2 and 3) and the Townsville Rehabilitation Unit (TRU). The certification is valid for 12 months only. If you are undertaking a placement at another THHS facility, please complete the training applicable to that facility.

THHS Fire and Emergency Response Training (You must use your JCU email address to create your account.)

If you require assistance with completing the training, please refer to the Fire and Emergency Response Training User Guide.

Please provide a copy of your certificate to the Professional Experience Placement Unit and retain a copy in your professional portfolio.

Townsville University Hospital’s Infection Control team will administer Influenza and COVID19 vaccinations if students are attending placement within THHS.

This service supports a safe and healthy environment for students and patients during clinical placements and provides students with an opportunity to keep their immunisations up to date.

Students who wish to use this service can contact the team directly at THHS.ClinicalPlacements@health.qld.gov.au to arrange their vaccination.
