HEALP6202 Perinatal and Infant Mental Health 2
Perinatal and infant mental health is an interdisciplinary field focused on parent wellbeing and the social, emotional and cognitive development of infants from birth to three years. This unit introduces students to common presentations of compromised mental health in the perinatal period including anxiety, depression and trauma. Management of these conditions including screening, pharmacology and evidence based interventions and the impact on women and their families will be explored. Adjustment to parenting and adjustment disorders are also identified. There is a focus on infant attachment, attachment theory, and the neurobiology of infant brain development which demonstrates the long-term impact this has upon children's ongoing relationships and experiences.
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.
