Inherent requirements are essential in becoming a registered nurse and may be used to assess any conditions or disabilities and make reasonable adjustments. While on clinical placement, you will experience the same situations and tasks as a registered nurse, and some will require specific mental and physical skills and abilities. Please read the Inherent Requirements for (Undergraduate) Nursing Courses.
Avondale University (Avondale) has obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act1992 (Cth), the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Cth) to ensure that reasonable adjustments are available. Adjustments must be reasonable and cannot compromise the academic integrity of a course. Reasonable adjustments assist students in achieving the inherent requirements and are not a substitute for them.

Avondale’s capacity to accommodate eligible requests is subject to the availability of clinical placements provided to Avondale and or healthcare facility limitations. Avondale will provide other study options if we cannot meet the inherent requirements with reasonable adjustments.
