EDMAS6026 Engaging Professionally 1

This unit is designed to provide Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) with an introduction to the teaching profession. PSTs learn about the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and how the Standards can guide ongoing professional learning. PSTs learn about the importance of meeting professional ethics, complying with legislative requirements, and they grow to understand the different roles and responsibilities of contemporary teachers. PSTs engage in professional learning communities and appreciate the skills and dispositions required for effective professional learning, including the capacity to reflect critically on practice. They engage a range of thinking skills to examine dilemmas, challenges and changes in the profession. This unit includes five days of professional experience and supports PSTs to understand the role of professional teaching networks and connections to community.

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
