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) 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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

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
