HEMTL6003 Mental Health Systems
This unit introduces students to the theories, legislation, policies and standards that provide the foundation for mental health practice within the context of Australia. Students will examine and develop an understanding of recovery-oriented care which is the contemporary approach to model of treatment and care in mental health. Students will be provided with an opportunity to develop their theoretical understanding of the factors that govern the scope of practice for mental health clinicians. Students will also examine and understand the key role of a mental health nurse in the multidisciplinary team, in providing high quality and safe care for individuals with mental illness.
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.
