MIDBM2005 Working in partnership with first nations families
This unit explores the safe and effective provision of health care in partnership with women and families identifying as Australian First Nations Peoples. The central focus is an exploration of the experience of motherhood, family development, and perinatal health of First Nations Peoples. Building a depth of understanding of the historical and contemporary influences on the social determinants of health including cultural and political factors and their impact on shaping Australian First Nations diverse communities will also be examined. This unit is underpinned by a strengths-based, family centred approach, as a fundamental principle of care. Students will apply principles of culturally safe practice of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander People, based on a foundation of respect for diversity and difference, addressing individual needs of the family.
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.
