INDSL2369 Indigenous Australian Human Rights

This course explores key concepts, theories, issues and debates relating to the recognition and protection of human and Indigenous rights in Australia. The course will provide students with a broad overview of the development and consolidation of the international human rights regime, as well as of the relationship between international and domestic law within the Australian context. In particular, the course is focused on an examination of the emergence, impacts and ongoing role of the international Indigenous peoples¿ movement in advocating for Indigenous rights in Australia and around the world. Within a rights-based framework, students will critically engage with a series of social and political issues and debates relating to the status and experiences of Indigenous peoples in settler colonial Australia. The course is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage ethically with questions and debates concerning the recognition and protection of both human and Indigenous rights in Australia and internationally, and thus to enable them to become culturally competent Australian and global citizens.

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: $2,124


2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997

* 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.
