HEAPH6001 Introduction to Public Health
This unit will help apply public health principles and practices of public health in relation to local and global perspectives. Students will learn population health, social determinants of health, health inequalities, health and human rights, and the core roles and functions of public health systems, policies and programs. Students will understand these concepts using case study examples to illustrate not only public health successes, but also the challenges and limitations in public health, such as, inequalities in health within and across national boundaries, as well as the contributing factors to these inequalities.
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.
