Human Resource Management in Local Government

DLGLM1006 Human Resource Management in Local Government

Today's local government managers not only need to be equipped with a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of human resource practices but also with an understanding of the alignment between human resource strategy and business strategy. An understanding of this alignment is vital for supporting the growth of local government organisations as well as fostering the development and well-being of their employees and society in general. Thus, this unit blends Strategic Management and Human Resource Management (HRM) disciplines, focusing on how HRM Practice and Strategy influence the creation of effective business strategies that are pivotal for their execution. To summarise, this unit aims to examine the role of HRM practice and strategy in contributing to the long-term performance and viability of Local Government organisations.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $2,175
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $2,175

^ 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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

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.
