Child and Family Health Assessment 2

HEALM6304 Child and Family Health Assessment 2

This unit is designed to build on the student's foundational theoretical and practical knowledge and skills to further develop and consolidate your learning in preparation for further Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clinical experience in the community setting. The clinical experience will be predominantly in Maternal and Child Health Centres supported by an experienced practitioner where students will conduct individual consultations, home visits and group sessions. Students will consolidate and refine their clinical skills in physical assessment for children aged birth to 6 years, perform psychosocial screening with new mothers and facilitate community linkages. Relevant legislation, guidelines and ethical considerations will also be explored.

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.
