HEALT6000 Global Health Determinants
This unit provides an orientation to the context of global health care in order to understand the implementation of primary health care strategies across the globe with a specific focus upon factors that facilitate and constrain them. This unit provides a critical and advanced level overview of the conceptual underpinnings of the determinants of health and explores different approaches to the global determinants of health including the structural factors and conditions affecting human populations with an emphasis on the determinants. The common influences upon the health of indigenous populations across the world are compared and contrasted so that patterns of health and disease in developing countries and the factors that influence them can be identified. The importance of health and human rights at a local and global context is also explored and a look toward ethical frameworks for change so that an appreciation of the accomplishments and failures of the western medical model in the third world can be obtained.
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.
