NURBN1101 Introduction to the Nursing Profession
This unit introduces students to the foundational frameworks that guide nursing practice in Australia, focusing on professional standards, ethical responsibilities, and regulatory requirements. It explores the role of nurses in delivering safe, person-centred care across various healthcare settings while responding to national and global health priorities underpinned by the strengths-based nursing framework. The content is aligned with key standards, including the NMBA Registered Nurse Standards for Practice, Code of Conduct, and relevant healthcare quality frameworks, ensuring that students are well-prepared to meet the professional expectations of nursing 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: $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.
