PSYCP6011 Psychological Practice
Psychological Practice covers key concepts important to work in psychology and related fields: communication, clients, and workplaces. Regarding clients and workplaces, students will consider ethical, professional, and legal issues relevant to work in psychology and related areas. Students will become familiar with ethical practice, and the APS Code of Ethics and its accompanying Guidelines. They will also acquire knowlege about common issues that arise for professionals working in different roles and with different client groups. There will be an emphasis on developing knowledge and skills relevant to (a) professional communication, and (b) resolving ethical dilemmas that can arise during psychological practice. Students will also learn and practice high-level communication and interpersonal skills.
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: $2,124
2025 grandfathered student contribution amount (for students who commenced before 1 Jan 2021*): $997
* 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.
