Are Deakin University students covered by insurance when on practical placement, excursions etc.?

Yes. Cover is available for Deakin University students whilst on Practical Placement, Work Experience, Field Trips, Street Performances, Excursions, Off Campus Field Assignment and Practical Training. For more information, see Insurance for Students and Student Placement. Back to Top • What do I need to know about Property Insurance (ie Industrial Special Risk)? Employees' and students' personal property lost, stolen or damaged on University premises is covered BUT an excess of $10,000 is payable.
