SandyJoan - You are lucky! I have to do 150 hours!!!!! Bloody slave labour!! I am hoping that my facility has a place for me at the end so I don't have to job hunt, but at least I will have experience.
It is disappointing that the facilities don't pay you something - even school kids doing work experience get $5 a day! we get nothing. I don't know if I would want my grandparents to be looked after by people who are being paid nothing - I would prefer they gave them a small allowance to at least cover costs for the students
