HEALP6204 Perinatal mental health A
This is the introductory unit in the Gidget Foundation Australia workforce development program. It is designed to provide students with foundational theoretical and practical knowledge as well as obtain the clinical skills to support entry into the perinatal and infant mental health clinical space. The content will explore physiology of childbearing, fetal development, normal adjustments to parenting as well as address broad biosocial issues contributing or diminishing resilience. Students will be introduced to comprehensive psychological assessment of the mother-infant dyad, case formation, implementation, and evaluation of therapeutic treatment of common clinical presentations. Effective family-centred, strengths based, and culturally sensitive care will be explored together with clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and reflective practice for safe, quality evidence-based care.
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: $1,157
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,157
* 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.
