Structured Workplace Learning

Travel and accommodation arrangements

The student or the parent/carer (where the student is under 18 years of age) is responsible for the student’s transport to and from the workplace.

If the student may need to undertake vehicle travel with their employer and/or supervisor during the arrangement (including transporting the student to and/or from the workplace), the employer must complete the Structured workplace learning travel and accommodation form. The student or the parent/carer (where the student is under 18 years of age) must give their consent by also completing this form.

If a student is required to stay at accommodation other than their normal place of residence while undertaking structured workplace learning, the student or the parent/carer (where the student is under 18 years of age) is responsible for making suitable arrangements and must complete the Structured workplace learning travel and accommodation form.

The Structured workplace learning travel and accommodation form has been integrated into the digital form completion process in the Work-Based Learning Application.

Government schools that do not use the digital form, and non-government schools, must use the paper-based Structured workplace learning travel and accommodation form on the Resources tab.

Responsibility for the control and care of the student, at all times when the student is not under the control and care of the employer or any other person, rests with the student or their parent/carer.
