CHSUG1003 Theories and Models for Practice
This course provides an overview of the role theory plays in social work and community and human services practice frameworks. It will explain what theories are and why they are used in practice. Students will be introduced to several key theoretical frameworks and models of practice including, systems theory, problem solving approaches, taskcentred approaches such as, strengths based approaches and postmodern approaches. Students will consider and examine how community and human services workers apply these theories and models to their practice. This will assist students to make connections between theory and 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).
2025 student contribution amount: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* 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.
