Student Placements
Each year the Centre provides placements for at least seven tertiary students studying for careers in areas like Medicine, Nursing, Naturopathy, and Social Work. We also provide orientation talks to students from TAFE colleges and universities.
An important aspect of our work is to raise awareness of the social determinants of health, and the benefits of multidisciplinary, integrated health service delivery and feminist-based approaches to health care.
Students can apply to have their placement with us, visit with us (to help with an agency visit assignment) or ask for a talk to be given to their class.
Counselling students – please note any counselling placements we may provide will be project based, you won’t have the opportunity to counsel clients or observe counselling sessions.
To enquire about having a placement with us, please contact Sharon Todd-Miller using the contact form below.
If you’re a student and writing an assignment, our website will answer a lot of your questions in the About Us pages and in the most recent annual report , but if not, please know you can contact our Student Coordinator Sharon Todd-Miller using the contact form below or calling 02 9560 3011.
The purpose of LWCHC is to empower women to make informed choices which are impactful and meaningful in their lives.
Working at LWCHC offers a unique opportunity to be part of a feminist service championing social justice and addressing the gender bias in health care. Staff are encouraged and expected to participate in directing and shaping the organisation. Our collaborative and consultative work with clients and each other has helped to directly inform and influence Federal and State policies as they relate to women’s health and wellbeing.
