HEALM6302 Family and Community Studies
In this unit, students will critically examine the socio-ecological model of health as a framework for supporting families within diverse community contexts. They will explore the structure, function, strengths, and resilience of contemporary families, and appraise parenting tasks and challenges across key developmental stages. Students will apply family assessment models, strategies, and tools to identify strengths and stressors, forming the basis for tailored support and health education. They will build capacity to work effectively with families experiencing vulnerability, including those affected by family violence, cultural and linguistic diversity, mental health concerns, substance use, disability, and child abuse. In addition, students will develop a comprehensive understanding of primary health care (PHC) principles and concepts¿including health promotion, public health, population health, and community health¿to guide responsive and inclusive practice.
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: $592
2026 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $592
* 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.
