CHSUG2005 Social Policy and Social Change
Political ideology permeates social policy which, when implemented, affects people¿s wellbeing in their social context, including their access to services and resources. Identifying with the marginalised, and taking a stance against oppressive social structures and practices, this unit equips students to critically analyse and proactively challenge policies that disenfranchise, exclude or oppress social communities and people of diverse cultures, including First Nations people within the Australian context. The unit develops students¿ awareness of policymaking and practice, and sharpens their ability to analyse, question and challenge policies relevant to practice within the human services.
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.
