FLMES3451 Freedom and Control in the Media
This unit introduces students to key issues and debates about media regulation, freedom and control. Topics address issues of media ownership, convergence, censorship and classification, globalisation and piracy. Students will explore the policy frameworks that respond to these issues, and their implications and effects. The unit examines histories of different regulatory procedures, their present forms, and their particular application in an Australian context.
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: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* 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.
