Your submission will then be considered for approval by EAIT Employability and further advice will be provided to you.​ 

If your EPP industry placement is unpaid and has been approved via the Unpaid Engineering Professional Practice form along with your placement submission in InPlace, you will have access to a range of insurances whilst you are on placement. UQ’s Certificates of Currency for insurance are available here. The University's insurance cover will not apply to placements undertaken without UQ approval.  

Travel related to your unpaid Placement 

If, for your unpaid placement, you are travelling more than 50km from your usual place of residence that requires an overnight stay, you must complete the relevant EAIT Travel Approval Form. This form must be submitted and approved to be covered under UQ’s Travel Insurance. Please note the travel form is not required if you are employed by the placement company.
