This unit provides a foundation for professional practice in clinical psychology. Topics covered include counselling skills and clinical interviewing, assessment, case formulation and treatment planning, and ethical and professional issues in the practice of clinical psychology. The role of supervision and self-care in professional practice will also be included. The unit will involve both theoretical and practical learning components. This unit introduces students to practical skills required to be a general psychologist. It begins to prepare students for their internship year prior to general registration as a psychologist through the development of professional identity and reflective practice and will develop practical skills and competencies through activates such as role plays, simulated practice and observation.
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.
