NHPHS1401 Health and Healthcare in Australia
This unit introduces students to the broad concepts surrounding demographic characteristics of the Australian population: location, age, ethnicity, gender, Socio-economic status and education. Changes in the Australian population over time: births, deaths, migration and changes in the population's composition will be examined. Throughout this course, the epidemiological pattern of the Australian population, what makes people ill and well will be explored. Factors that impact on the health status of the population and how these factors are measured, comparisons of the health status of Australia with other nations, the structure of the Australian health care system, how decision are made about health service activity, access, resource allocation, federal/state relations, paying for health will all be explored. Methods for accessing health and demographic data will also be introduced as well as interpreting data.
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: $1,164
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $1,164
* 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.
