PSYCP6011 Psychological Practice
Psychological Practice covers key concepts important to work in psychology and related fields: communication, clients, and workplaces. Students will consider public safety as well as professional and legal issues relevant to work in psychology and related areas. Students will develop their understanding of ethical practice, current codes of conduct, cultural safety, and psychological intervention. They will also acquire knowledge about common issues that arise for professionals working in different roles and with different client groups across a range of settings. There will be an emphasis on developing knowledge and skills relevant to cultural responsiveness with an emphasis on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Students will also learn and practice high-level communication skills relevant to the professional context, including interprofessional practice and working in multidisciplinary teams.
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.
