Professional Experience Early Childhood Final

ECCEL4722 Professional Experience Early Childhood Final

This unit supports the final professional experience in the Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education), where Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) complete 30 days of professional experience in an early childhood centre with children from three years of age to school entry. Expectations of this placement align with the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and are assessed by the Mentor Teacher at the completion of the placement. Throughout the placement, PSTs will reflect upon and document their professional learning with support from their assigned mentors. This final placement provides PSTs with authentic opportunities to apply the skills and knowledge they have developed throughout their course of study. Throughout the placement, PSTs are required to complete designated professional learning activities in collaboration with their assigned mentors.

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* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ 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.
