HEASP2013 Speech Pathology Clinical Practice 1
This is first of six professional experience practice (PEP) units in the Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons) unit that introduces students to the speech pathology professional practice through learning activities, including exposure to clinicians in the field and guest lecturers from a range of practice settings. It presents the foundational speech pathology practice skills in a range of practice areas and settings that speech pathologists work within to provide evidence-based, safe person-centered, family-centered and community-centered practice including specific vulnerable populations. Students will be introduced to the professional experience practice component of the unit, the practice requirements and the Professional Standards of Practice for Speech Pathologists in Australia (2020) with the key principles underlying these professional standards domains. The achievement and assessment of Professional Standards via COMPASS assessment tool will also be discussed in detail with a focus on introductory level practice skills of assessment, analysis and interpretation. Students will participate in activities and experiences that will assist with the development of all domains of Professional Standards of Practice.Students will participate in supervised practice education based placement at novice level competency for approximately and not less than 12 days, with flexible support from the university.
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.
