HEALT1112 Anatomy & Physiology for Health Professionals 2
This unit is one of two unit that provide foundational knowledge of human anatomy and physiology relevant to the health professions. In this unit the biological basis of human health and the working of the human body will be explored. The major themes of study relate to body defences, integration and control through hormonal process and maintenance and development of normal body function through nutrition and fluid balance. An integrated approach using case scenarios provides inter-professional learning opportunities and allows scrutiny of structural and physiological changes across the lifespan. Topics include: the structure and function of the integumentary and lymphatic systems with emphasis on their roles in immunity; the structure and function of the endocrine, digestive and urinary systems; metabolism; the special senses; growth and development; and the choice of 2 elective streams designed to meet student discipline requirements in the areas of health science or nursing.
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: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
