Inherent Requirements Inherent requirements are essential in becoming a registered nurse and may be used to assess any conditions or disabilities and make reasonable adjustments. While on clinical placement, you will experience the same situations and tasks as a registered nurse, and some will require specific mental and physical skills and abilities. Please read the
Inherent Requirements for (Undergraduate) Nursing Courses .
Avondale University (Avondale) has obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act1992 (Cth), the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 (NSW) and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (Cth) to ensure that reasonable adjustments are available. Adjustments must be reasonable and cannot compromise the academic integrity of a course. Reasonable adjustments assist students in achieving the inherent requirements and are not a substitute for them. For more information, contact our Equity Office at
