NHPOT4027 Advancing reflective practice

This unit focuses on preparing students to transition from student to new graduate occupational therapist. In this unit students will examine complex case scenarios, with a focus on professional, ethical and legal frameworks that guide occupation practice and service delivery in urban, rural and remote healthcare settings. Students will participate in an enquiry-based learning approach to resolve the case scenarios by identifying existing gaps in practice knowledge and skills and draw on evidence-based practice to address these. Reflecting on professional practice experiences, students will critically examine the leadership skills to support professional resilience and growth in practice. The role of supervision, mentoring and coaching to support continuing personal and professional development in practice will be examined. Students will advance their core skills for professional competence i.e. effective communication, appreciation of clinical and ethical reasoning, reflective practice, critical thinking and professional practice and develop a personalised development plan to guide the transition to practice

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.

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
