HEALM6306 Infant and Child Nutrition
Upon completion of this unit, students will demonstrate comprehensive knowledge and clinical competence in infant and child nutrition, with a focus on supporting families from birth to six years of age. They will apply advanced assessment skills and evidence-based strategies to deliver tailored nutrition advice, education, and support within a family-centred care framework. Students will understand the significance of optimal nutrition in shaping long-term and intergenerational health outcomes, and will be equipped to advocate for breastfeeding and healthy eating practices in alignment with primary health care and public health policy. They will also apply family assessment models and tools to identify nutritional needs and challenges, enabling them to provide responsive, culturally appropriate care to diverse and vulnerable populations.
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.
