HEANP7005 Comprehensive and Safe Patient Care

Students will consolidate their breadth and depth of knowledge and skills enabling a comprehensive understanding of the role of the nurse practitioner in providing safe and quality health care, and the importance of a strong business case for change. Students will explore the delivery of health care in complex and varied situations including factors associated with socioeconomics, personal preferences, choices and selfdetermination, psychosocial impacts and access to services. Students will also further their knowledge about population health, health care gaps, and epidemiology, considering the impact nurse practitioners can have on informing health policy. Students will demonstrate their ability to plan and manage person centred, evidencebased healthcare in their context of advanced clinical practice. In particular, attention will be drawn to the collaborative and sometimes complex interdisciplinary relationships involved with health care delivery. Students are required to maintain a portfolio (log) of their reflections of professional knowledge, practice developments and collaborative practice throughout their 50 hours of interprofessional practice.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $592
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $592

^ 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.
 
* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website.
