Wellbeing in Early Childhood Contexts

EDECE2021 Wellbeing in Early Childhood Contexts

This unit is designed to immerse Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) in the discourse surrounding social and psychological wellbeing in relation to children within early childhood education and care settings, families, colleagues and themselves personally and professionally. The unit will encourage PSTs to critically analyse the ways in which social and psychological wellbeing can be promoted within education and care contexts and within the transition between services and school. PSTs will draw upon their knowledge of social, and psychological development to recognise inclusive teaching approaches that foster resilience in young children from diverse backgrounds. PSTs will demonstrate an understanding of the correlation between responsive and secure relationships with children families and colleagues that are inclusive of socially and culturally diverse perspectives and mental health.

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.

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.
