When to access accommodation

Accommodation is available for check-in from 4pm CST Saturday.

The BHUDRH will do its best to assist with accommodation requests, however not all requests may be possible.

When to depart accommodation

Students in Broken Hill are required to depart by 9am on the Friday of their last week of placement. If they must still attend placement on that day, students may leave their luggage in their unit’s common area.

Please note: Friday night accommodation is available at a cost of $50, however students must inform the Student Placements Services team within the first week of their placement that they wish to remain on Friday night.

Students at our other sites (e.g. Bourke, Wentworth, Menindee, etc.) may depart by 9am on the Saturday of their last week of placement.

Departure

On departure, students must follow printed instructions in their accommodation that instructs them what to do with their keys. In some cases students may be required to deposit keys in a ‘key return’ box located near the main entrances of selected facilities, return keys to keysafes, place keys on the dining table, or return keys to the receptionist or house keepers at the BHUDRH.
