NURBN1111 Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing and Midwifery 1
This unit is one of two units that provide foundational knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. In this unit, the biological basis of human health and the working of the human body will be explored. The major themes of study relate to organisation of the body, from cells to tissues to organ systems. The unit examines human physiological processes and their integration and control with particular focus on the maintenance of normal body function. The unit encourages students to demonstrate an application of biological science knowledge. An integrated whole body approach allows scrutiny of structural and physiological changes across the lifespan. This unit is open to all nursing and midwifery students. Topics include organisation of the human body from chemical and cellular basics to body systems; the maintenance of homeostasis; the structure and function of the musculoskeletal system; the structure and the major integrative functions of the nervous, cardiovascular, respiratory and reproductive systems.
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.
