Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing and Midwifery 2

NURBN1112 Anatomy and Physiology for Nursing and Midwifery 2

This unit is one of two units that provide foundational knowledge of human anatomy and physiology, with a focus on body defences, hormonal regulation, the maintenance of health through fluid balance, and growth across the lifespan. Students will explore the structure and function of key organ systems and examine how physiological processes support growth, development, and immune function across the lifespan. Topics include neural transmission, the lymphatic, endocrine, reproductive systems and pregnancy, protein synthesis and genetics, fluid regulation, the special senses, and human development. An integrated, case-based approach supports students in applying biological science knowledge to nursing and midwifery practice.

Commonwealth supported place (CSP)

A CSP is subsidised by the Australian Government and students pay a contribution amount. Each unit is classified into a band, depending on the study area of the unit (this discipline may be different from the study area of your course).

2026 contribution amount* $1,192
2026 grandfathered contribution amount^ $1,192

^ 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.

* For Psychology and Social Work bands the unit fee amount is determined by accredited courses. Students in Postgraduate Clinical Psychology, Professional Pathway Psychology or Professional Pathway Social Work accredited courses should refer to the information below.

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.
