MIDBM2003 Childbearing Challenges
This unit will explore pregnancy, childbirth, care of the mother and baby from the perspective of wellness through to variations of normal. Essential elements of effective woman-centred partnership, including evidence-based assessment frameworks, communication in assessment, strategies for decision-making, problem solving and critical thinking for assessment practice, as well as basic psychomotor skills essential for health and pregnancy assessment will be explored. Students will be provided with both simulated and practice based opportunities to develop skills and knowledge that will enable them to provide effective care to women experiencing variations from normal childbearing. The clinical practice component will provide students with opportunities to incorporate theoretical learning directly into midwifery practice.
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: $578
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $578
* 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.
