MIDGD6006 Diversity of Midwifery Practice
This course consolidates midwifery knowledge, skills and application for practice in a variety of diverse settings in which midwives provide care to a range of vulnerable populations in primary health care contexts. The central focus is the diverse role of midwifery practice in providing maternity care in various healthcare contexts including regional, local, national and international contexts. 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. The midwives¿ role as a member of a multidisciplinary team is also explored. This course works to put into context for the student, the nature and scope of midwifery practice and the importance of woman centred care and places it as central to securing improved maternal and infant health outcomes.
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.
