Placement opportunities

There are many placement opportunities in the Darwin area in both private organisations and with the health department. Placements should be arranged between your University and the placement supervisor.

Once this is done, Flinders NT are able to assist in making the most of your placement opportunities. We are also happy to help with any questions you may have or suggestions for possible placement contacts.

The unit complex has its own pool and gymnasium and is ideally situated across the road from Casuarina Shopping Square (Coles, Woolworths, Big W, Kmart, a movie theatre, restaurants and other specialty stores) and the Casuarina Bus Interchange.
