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 work experience 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 work experience, the student or parent/carer (where the student is under 18 years of age) is responsible for making suitable arrangements and must complete the Work experience travel and accommodation form.

The work experience 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 instead use the Work experience travel and accommodation form on the Resources tab.

Responsibility for the supervision and care of the student, at all times when the student is not under the supervision and care of the employer or any other person, rests with the student (if over 18 years of age) or their parent/carer.

Includes information on travel and accommodation arrangements for students undertaking work experience.
