Child and Family Health Assessment 1

HEALM6301 Child and Family Health Assessment 1

This unit is designed to provide students with the foundational theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to support entry into supervised clinical experience in the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) community settings. It builds on and enhances knowledge and practical skills students have gained from their previous professional nursing and midwifery practice. The focus of this unit is engaging with families and working together to promote child health and family wellbeing. This will be facilitated by assessment and intervention for child health and developmental issues as well as assessment of maternal and family wellbeing, including support and referral for early parenting concerns

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.
