    • ...I work on Saturdays so I can only do clinical on Sundays?
    • ...I have part-time employment on Saturdays and Sundays but can do afternoon shift during the week
    • ...I cant do afternoon shift because I need to pick up children from childcare
    • ...I would like to work Saturday 19th of June if possible so that I can take the Monday off to attend an appointment
    • ...I need to make up a clinical day from the last block (as discussed with UniSA staff member)- can I work the public holiday dayshift in ED on the 27th?
