<p>This unit is the final of six professional practice units in the Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons) course that consolidates and provides direct evidence of achievement of Professional Standards required by Speech Pathology Australia for entry into the profession. Speech Pathology Australia requires that Professional Standards (2020)are achieved, demonstrated and consolidated whilst working across the population lifespan in final 4th year professional practice placements. Consequently, in this unit, students will work in a range of practice areas and with a different population than in the previous professional practice placements.During the previous five professional practice units, students have progressively increased their independence and ability to manage complexity, and skills in assessing, interpreting, diagnosing, planning and implementing interventions and services as well as evaluating professional practice. In this unit, students will engage in professional practice placements across the practice areas of communication and swallowing. Readiness to enter the profession as a speech pathologist, knowledge and attitudes are fostered throughout the unit, as students prepare for transition to the workforce. On completion of the unit, students will be expected to demonstrate advanced level competency in accordance with the Professional Standards of Practice for Speech Pathologists. Students will participate in supervised practice education based placement at an entry level competency for approximately and not less than 18 days, with flexible support from the university.</p>
