Embedded Student Program

You must be a domestic student interested in enrolling in the Bachelor of Medical Radiation (Nuclear Medicine) at RMIT and live in Queensland.

We will try to place all applicants but can only offer a limited number of embedded student program placements. If you aren't successful, or you're not a domestic student, we still encourage you to apply to become a Nuclear Medicine Scientist through the standard university application process.

Please note: To help protect our patients, staff, and the wider community, it is a requirement that students working in Nuclear Medicine departments in Queensland Health are immunised against (and provide evidence for) vaccine preventable diseases. More information about this requirement is outlined in the Protocol for vaccine preventable disease screening for contractors, students and volunteers.

When we assess your application, we’ll consider your responses to the following:

• What subjects you studied in Year 12.
• What is nuclear medicine and why are you interested in pursuing a career in Queensland as a nuclear medicine scientist?
• Examples where you've showcased your organisational skills, initiative, and self-motivation.
• What you understand person-centred care to be as a widely recognised foundation to safe, high-quality health care, and why it is important for health professionals to apply it in their practice.

Applications for the 2026 program have closed.

Please complete the application form and submit to AH_CETU@health.qld.gov.au with all supporting documentation.

Unfortunately, late applications will not be considered.

Application for the Nuclear Medicine Scientist Embedded Student Program Scholarship is included in the above application form.

The Department of Health is collecting your information to support your enrolment in the above-mentioned program. Personal information collected by the Department is handled in accordance with the Information Privacy Act 2009. Your personal information will not be disclosed to other third parties without consent unless the disclosure is authorised or required by or under law.

For any questions regarding this collection notice, please contact the Office of the Chief Allied Health Officer via email AH_CETU@health.qld.gov.au. For information about how the Department protects your personal information, how to access or correct your own personal information, or how to make a complaint about a breach of the privacy principles and learn how we deal with such a complaint, please refer to Queensland Health Privacy Policy.

Your expression of interest and supporting information will be assessed by a panel and you will be required to undertake an interview.

If you are successful, you will be provided with a formal letter so that you can let RMIT know that you will be supported in Queensland as part of the Nuclear Medicine Scientist Embedded Student Program.

You will also need to apply for entry into the approved program in Nuclear Medicine Science to RMIT, who will assess your application into the course.

Once you have been accepted by both Queensland Health and RMIT, you will be linked with a site contact in Queensland Health for your orientation and induction.
