MSWPG7208 SOCIAL WORK FIELD EDUCATION 2

Students will participate in a 500-hour (minimum) Field Education placement which will facilitate advanced integration of theory, practice and research. Students will extend their knowledge and skills required for professional practice at an advanced level by being exposed to understanding how to work using group work skills on complex cases with multiple needs. Students will gain knowledge of how to develop appropriate social work methods of intervention in a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary context by integrating theories to practice by analysing the social, legal and ethical dimensions. Students will be expected to advance their knowledge and apply social work values, ethics, roles and responsibilities and reflect on their growing professional identity. Integrative seminars will assist and support students throughout this process, and provide 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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

Domestic full fee–paying places

A domestic full fee–paying place is one that isn’t subsidised by the Australian Government. These places are offered to postgraduate students or those who are ineligible for a CSP. Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.

International full fee–paying places

International tuition fees are course-based annual fees and the unit fee you pay will vary according to the degree you are studying. To find out more about international tuition fees and view the relevant fee schedule visit our fees website
