Charter E-Campus Learning

Study from where you are. Attend practical training when required. Complete work placement with Charter Australia’s support.

Charter E-Campus is Charter Australia’s flexible delivery model for selected full qualification courses. It combines:

online learning through live online classes, self-paced study, or mixed online delivery
practical training, where required, through short face-to-face sessions at Charter Australia’s North Sydney campus
work placement support for all full qualification courses

Charter E-Campus is not simply a fully online course. Some courses require students to attend practical training before work placement. This helps students develop hands-on skills and prepare for real workplace environments.

All full qualification courses include mandatory work placement. Charter Australia supports students to arrange work placement in Sydney, regional areas, interstate locations, or other suitable locations where possible.

Charter E-Campus also includes selected online preparation courses, such as Online Foundation English for Study and Work, to help students prepare for further study and employment pathways.

These courses are delivered through live online classes, self-paced study, or mixed online delivery, followed by required work placement:

Start Your Study Earlier

Students can begin their learning journey earlier, study with greater flexibility, and still develop the practical skills and workplace readiness needed for success in the health and community services industry.

Charter E-Campus offers the best of both worlds — flexible online learning combined with quality practical training and work placement arranged by us.

Practical Training, Where Required

Charter E-Campus is not a purely online course.

In health, care, and community services training, hands-on practical learning is essential. Students must practise real skills, use industry equipment, receive guidance from experienced professionals, and build confidence before entering a real workplace environment.

At Charter Australia, we ensure students are properly trained, supported, and workplace-ready before commencing their required work placement.

Work Placement Support

Charter Australia arranges work placements for all students as part of course requirements, helping students gain valuable real-world industry experience.

Support for Interstate & Overseas Students

Students attending practical training at our North Sydney main campus may also access support with:

Homestay arrangements
Short-term accommodation options
Travel and study planning assistance

Who is Charter E-Campus For?

Charter E-Campus is especially suitable for:

Regional, rural, and interstate students
Working Holiday Visa holders and other visa holders with limited study periods in Australia
Students who wish to complete part of their course before arriving in Australia
Working students and/or students with family or personal commitments, who require flexible study options

For many Working Holiday Visa holders and other eligible visa holders, Charter E-Campus allows them to begin learning and complete a significant portion of their studies online before arriving in Australia. This provides greater flexibility and helps students maximise their available study period in Australia while still completing the required practical training and work placement components.

Please note: All qualification courses require mandatory work placement to complete the course. Tourist visa holders are not eligible to undertake work placement in Australia and are therefore not eligible for enrolment.

Step 1: Choose your course

Select an E-Campus eligible course and speak with Charter Australia about the delivery mode, practical training requirements and work placement requirements.

Step 2: Study online

Complete your online learning through live online classes, self-paced study, or mixed online delivery.

Step 3: Attend practical training, if required

Some courses require students to attend short practical training at Charter Australia’s North Sydney campus. Practical training is usually delivered over approximately 2–3 consecutive days, depending on the course requirements.

Step 4: Complete Work Placement

After you are ready for placement, Charter Australia supports you to arrange your required work placement. Students in regional areas, interstate or other locations may need to work with Charter to identify suitable local placement options.

Step 5: Complete your qualification

By combining online study, practical training and workplace experience, students complete a full training journey designed to prepare them for employment in the health, care, community services and early childhood sectors.

Is Charter E-Campus fully online?

Not always. Some courses may be completed through online learning and work placement, while other courses require short face-to-face practical training. Charter E-Campus is flexible, but it is not simply a purely online course.

Do I need to come to Sydney?

It depends on the course. Some courses require students to attend practical training at Charter Australia’s North Sydney campus for approximately 2–3 days. Each course page should clearly explain this requirement.

For students travelling from regional areas, interstate or overseas, Charter Australia may also provide guidance with:

short-term accommodation options
homestay options, where available
travel and study planning
practical training schedules
work placement planning

Each course page will explain whether Sydney practical training is required.

Does every course require work placement?

All full qualification courses require work placement. Charter Australia supports students to arrange work placement in Sydney or in the region and state that you are in as part of their training journey.

Can Charter arrange work placement outside Sydney?

Charter Australia will make every effort to support placement arrangements for students in different locations. In some regional, interstate or remote areas, students may also need to help identify suitable local host organisations.

Can I start before arriving in Australia?

Yes, students may be able to begin their online learning before arriving in Australia.

This can be especially helpful for Working Holiday Visa holders and other eligible visa holders who want to make the best use of their time in Australia. Students may be able to complete a significant part of their theory learning online first, then come to Australia for any required practical training and work placement.

This pathway may help students become qualified sooner and move more quickly towards employment opportunities in care, community services, early childhood education or health support roles.

Is Charter E-Campus suitable for Working Holiday Visa holders?

Yes, Charter E-Campus may be a strong option for eligible Working Holiday Visa holders who want to take Charter Australia’s Study and Work Program.

Through Charter E-Campus, students may be able to:

begin online learning before arriving in Australia
complete much of the theory component flexibly
attend short practical training in Sydney if the course requires it
complete mandatory work placement in Australia
gain an Australian qualification linked to real industry needs
become job-ready for roles in care, community services, early childhood education or health support

This can be a practical Study + Work pathway for Working Holiday Visa holders who have limited time in Australia and want to use that time wisely.

Can I get a refund if my visa is refused or I change my mind after starting with Charter E-Campus?

Refunds may be available in some circumstances, including visa refusal or change of mind. The refund amount will depend on when the request is made, the course stage, and any training or services already provided. For a full explanation of refund conditions, timeframes and how to apply, please refer to Charter Australia’s Fees & Payments page.
