General Information
Where work experience is undertaken as part of a course of study, insurance
arrangements are typically organised by that organising institution
and queries should be directed to them in the first instance.
Where work experience is not covered as part of a course of study,
insurance coverage may be accessible through an agency of the Employment
Directions Network (EDN). This network is funded by the Western
Australian Department of Education
and Training. To locate your nearest EDN call 13 6464.
