COOPC1021 Professional Identity: Prep for work

This introductory course will equip students to commence managing their progression into and through their careers. The course consists of three strands: planning ahead, knowing yourself, and preparing to join the workforce. Students will learn career development skills and strategies, and participate in activities, applicable to their university studies and future professional lives. By tailoring their academic learning, professional placements and extra-curricular endeavours to their career goals and the needs of industry, students will be empowered to make deliberate career-focused decisions and take full advantage of work integrated learning situations. A focus on self-awareness, self-efficacy, professionalism and workplace culture will support students to develop the expected behaviours for success in the workplace. Students will create a personalised career action plan to self-manage their careers and make informed career and life decisions. Each learning and assessment task will enable students to create and test career choices that will develop their interpersonal, communication, and networking skills.

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: $578


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578

* 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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website
