Use one of the following agreements (UQ standard form or UQ agreed overarching), to set out the terms and conditions between UQ and a provider, that will apply to a UQ student’s placement.

UQ standard placement agreements

In 2023, UQ’s standard placement agreements were reviewed by the UQ Placements Management Group (PMG) and UQ Legal Services.  The following agreements were discontinued:

• Overarching Student Placement Agreement – Non-Clinical 
• Overarching Student Placement Agreement – Clinical 
• Single Student Placement Agreement – Non-Clinical 
• Single Student Placement Agreement – Clinical 
• Engineering Professional Practice Placement Agreement 

Existing agreements can continue on these terms, but all new placement arrangements must be documented on the new Overarching Student Placement Agreement or the new Single Student Placement Agreement. These new agreements can be used for both clinical and non-clinical placements undertaken by undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students. They may be used for HDR students on approval of Graduate School (see conditions below).

Should you have any queries about the transitional arrangements, please email UQ Legal Services at legalservices@uq.edu.au or Dino Willox at employability@uq.edu.au.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) placements allow students to integrate theory with practice within work-based settings. WIL placements must be assessable by UQ (for credit) or a requirement of an academic course, shorter form credential, or program.

For more information, see UQ’s Work Integrated Learning and Work Experience Policy. UQ staff should also read Work Integrated Learning – information for staff.

UQ has approved the following standard placement agreements for you to submit to a provider. Once the operational details have been completed with the provider, you should arrange for the agreement to be signed by UQ (in accordance with the Contract Delegations Policy) and by the provider.

General instructions for use – Overarching and Single Agreements

1. All student placements, including for HDR Students, are governed by the Work Integrated Learning and Work Experience Policy.
2. Appropriate due diligence should be conducted before engaging with any new placement provider (see section 3.0 in the Work Integrated Learning and Work Experience Procedures).
3. In respect of insurance cover:
   1. UQ insurance cover will not apply to placements undertaken without UQ approval (see the Insurance Services website for more information).
   2. The level of insurance held by the Provider is no longer specified in the standard placement agreements, but must be considered as part of the Provider's due diligence:

1. Providers should be expected to hold insurance that is commensurate with the scale and scope of their business.  As a general rule, Providers should hold public liability insurance (ideally at least $10 million of cover) and professional indemnity insurance (ideally $5 million of cover).
2. Whether or not to proceed with a placement where a Provider does not meet these criteria is a question of risk to be assessed by the UQ Placement Co-ordinator. This may be considered acceptable if the financial position of the Provider is strong (although that can change in future) and/or the risk of claims (or claims exceeding insurance cover) is low.

UQ Insurance Services can be contacted by UQ’s Placement Co-ordinator at insurance@uq.edu.au for advice on insurance-related issues before the commencement of the Placement, including equivalency of cover for overseas placements (refer to clause 5.3/6.3 of the Single/Overarching Student Placement Agreement). 

Conditions for HDR Students

1. All HDR placements must be managed and approved by the Graduate School 
2. HDR placement cannot be related to an HDR student’s thesis 
3. Intellectual property for the placement will sit with the placement provider
4. The student must have a completed Student Intellectual Property and Confidentiality Deed Poll
5. HDR placements are not research or consultancy services, which must be managed through a research and consultancy deed with a student schedule
6. If funding or multiple parties are involved, a Scholarships Agreement or other agreement may be more appropriate
7. Questions for HDR students can be directed to graduateschool@uq.edu.au
