HEANP6002 Pharmacology for Advanced Practice
This course develops the necessary knowledge and skills required of independent prescribers. Principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, together with knowledge of indications, side effects of treatments and risk management strategies will be explored. Critical thinking decisions on therapeutic management (pharmacological and non-pharmacological) options, collaboration with other health care providers and evaluation strategies will be explored. The use of digital technologies to support prescribing practices will be explored. Students will maintain a clinical log during their 50 hours of interprofessional practice which will incorporate reflections of their learning.
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.
