GCSCS6003 Ethics for Professional Practice
This unit enables students to develop an advanced understanding of ethical principles, the key theories of ethics, relevant professional codes of ethics, and frameworks for decision-making. Key ethical questions and ethical dilemmas are considered for culturally safe practice with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples¿. This includes legal considerations in the context of the FVISS and CISS (information sharing schemes), subpoena process etc. Students will learn to articulate their standpoint, cultivate and deepen reflexivity, and appreciate how personal values, prejudices and biases shape ethical decision making. Working within practice frameworks including the Family Violence Multi-Agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) Framework, and intersectional feminist theory, power dynamics between clients and practitioners, and between adults experiencing family violence, children experiencing family violence and persons using family violence will be examined with a focus on working with diverse communities.
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: $2,175
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,021
* 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.
