NURBN2021 Primary Health 2: Health Promotion
This unit builds on determinants of health to explore the role of the nurse as an educator and promoter of health, in clinical and diverse healthcare settings. In addition to this, the unit will explore the notion of the nurse as an agent of change - not only for individuals but also for groups, communities and populations. The unit builds on previous units in 1st year and seeks to understand illness prevention as well as health promotion as a contrast to the current illness model. In particular, the unit seeks to critically explore contemporary approaches to health promotion and health education and will illuminate health literacy and behaviour change theories as a vehicle for change. The concepts of social justice, equity, access, affordability and community development in health promotion and health education are emphasised.
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.
