To help encourage us to fulfil our studies, should we be paid when doing our placement in Universities across Australia?

Absolutely. As unlike other studies, placement is mandatory so you cannot work a ‘normal’ job.

No. You already receive Commonwealth sponsored places and lower fees for your studies. Maybe you should consider studying part-time so you can juggle expenses and placement requirements for your study.
