EDMAS6131 Engaging Professionally 3 Early Childhood

This unit is the third in a suite of courses designed to enable student teachers (STs) to critically attend to, participate in and experience, the many facets of professional engagement in teaching. STs create and experience a professional learning community where learning is enhanced through social processes, dialogue and personal reflection. Communication will take place on campus and in online environments. Guided by a learning mentor, STs will critically examine teaching and learning experiences in early childhood settings and make complex connections to prior learning. They will focus on bigger picture issues such as the emotional work of teachers, the changing culture of early childhood education and service improvement issues as well as their own personal questions, investigations and insights. STs will prepare an evidencebased professional portfolio that will form the basis of their assessment and will receive feedback from multiple sources. They will also learn how to apply for teaching positions in early childhood settings.

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
