ECCOP2301 Relationships with children, families and community
This unit explores the pivotal role of relationships in the everyday routines and curriculum of early childhood education, with a focus on enhancing children's wellbeing through meaningful connections with families, communities, and cultures. Pre-service teachers (PSTs) will develop strategies to support children¿s safety, mental health and resilience using inclusive, holistic, and trauma-informed approaches. Emphasis is placed on building culturally responsive relationships and pedagogies, including those that support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, families, and communities. Through theoretical and practical engagement, PSTs will examine how cultural identity, community connectedness, and relationships influence children's development and learning. The unit supports the development of inclusive and sustainable curriculum and pedagogies that foster a sense of belonging and wellbeing. 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.
