MIDBM3209 Midwifery Practice Diversity
This unit will introduce students to the interrelationship of midwifery practice as primary health, maternity care and public health. It facilitates the student to a greater understanding of vulnerability in childbearing women. The unit also includes issues such as violence within the family, child abuse, sexual assault, drug abuse and associated pathologies. The special needs of Indigenous women and their families will be addressed. The role of midwifery and maternity care in improving perinatal outcomes for disadvantaged women and families will be discussed and debated, including issues of cultural diversity, refugees, and vulnerable populations.
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.
