Students will be introduced to group work theories and/or principles and begin to acquire the knowledge and skills required for professional practice as Social Workers in a practice setting and utilise appropriate intervention strategies under supervision. Using case studies, integrative seminars will prepare students for placement as well as assist and support students throughout their placement process providing opportunities for reflective practice, shared learning and mutual support.
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: $6,372
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $2,990
* 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.
