ECCOP2001 Play, Learning and Development
This unit supports Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) to critically explore early human development and the central role of play in development and learning for children from birth to eight years. PSTs will engage with theories of play and development and apply these to responsive, inclusive, and ethical teaching practices. Emphasis is placed on creating safe and stimulating environments, and planning play-based experiences that reflect the diverse strengths, rights, and agency of young children. The unit promotes collaboration with families and communities and supports PSTs in developing advocacy skills for quality early childhood education and care. This unit includes a 10-day placement.
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) unit fee
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government, which means students only pay the student contribution amount of the tuition fee. CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students.
The student contribution amount depends on the unit and how much funding the Government provides. Each unit is classified into a band based on its discipline (which may be different to your overall course discipline).
2026 student contribution amount: $1,185
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,185
* If you are a continuing student (who commenced your course before 1 January 2021) you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.
