1. Your Availability for Placements: Students are expected to meet employers' rostering requirements and attend shifts as rostered. 
2. Organising Placements: All placements must be approved by Auctus Placement Coordinator prior to commencement. A placement agreement will be signed by Auctus, the employer and students. Where a placement agreement has been executed, students are expected to uphold the agreement unless there are extenuating circumstances. In those situations, evidence of the extenuating circumstances will be sought from the student. If a student fails to start the placement as scheduled, and the Coordinator has to reorganise the placement, students may be charged a $500 fee.
3. Individual Support is a community-based service - quite often considerable travels/driving are required to provide services to clients in their homes or care centers. Therefore, most employers require students and workers to have a drivers license and car in good condition with comprehensive car insurance. This is the nature of the care sector.
