HEASP4063 Speech Pathology Clinical Practice 6

This unit is the final of six professional practice units in the Bachelor of Speech Pathology (Hons) program that consolidates and provides direct evidence of achievement of Professional Standards required by Speech Pathology Australia for entry into the profession. Speech Pathology Australia requires that Professional Standards (2020) are achieved, demonstrated and consolidated whilst working across the population lifespan in final 4th year professional practice placements. Consequently, in this unit, students will work in a range of practice areas and with a different population than in the previous professional practice placements. During the previous five professional practice units, students have progressively increased their independence and ability to manage complexity, and skills in assessing, interpreting, diagnosing, planning and implementing interventions and services as well as evaluating professional practice. In this unit, students will engage in professional practice placements across one or more of the Speech Pathology Australia range of practice areas of speech, language, voice, fluency, swallowing, and multimodal communication. Entry level skills for beginning speech pathologist, knowledge and attitudes are fostered throughout the unit, as students prepare for transition to the workforce. On completion of the unit, students will be expected to demonstrate advanced level competency in accordance with the Professional Standards of Practice for Speech Pathologists for all domains of the profession. Students will participate in supervised practice education based placement at an entry level competency for approximately and not less than 18 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: $2,329


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $2,329

* 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
