NURBN3020 Context of Practice 6: Nursing People Living with Chronic Illness
Australia faces the challenge of an increasing prevalence of people living with chronic illness who experience increased complexity and diversity of health care needs. This Course examines the concept of nursing people living with chronic illness as a speciality practice, sensitive to meeting the needs of a diverse multicultural population through evidence-based, person-centred, best practice nursing. The Course will develop knowledge, skills and awareness in the principles and provision of nursing practice for supportive care for people experiencing a chronic illness. Acknowledging the dynamic interplay between age, culture and bio-psychosocial needs of people, this Course will explore differing frameworks for chronic illness. This Course will enable the ability of graduate nurses to relate differing models of care within a holistic framework in the provision of best nursing practice for people experiencing chronic illness.
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.
