SHMCN6011 Nursing Practice 4: Consolidation of Practice 1

This course, along with SHMCN6012, will enable students to consolidate their learning from across the Master of Clinical Nursing (Graduate Entry) program by way of more specialised knowledge and skills development, and extended periods of clinical practice in diverse clinical settings. This may include a consolidated placement in one health care organisation for both courses. SHMCN6011 will enable students to build on learnings from previous courses in relation to nursing for mental health and well-being across the lifespan and in diverse clinical settings. The focus of the course is on contemporary mental health nursing concepts involving a recovery-focused and a lifespan-based approach to mental health care. Students will engage in more specialised skills development in culturally safe communication and mental health assessment, and the principles and components of recovery and collaborative relationships with people of diverse backgrounds experiencing mental ill health. The course will enable students to understand and evaluate their nursing practice in relation to key provisions of Mental Health Acts, particularly with regard to empowerment, collaboration, least restrictive environment, and attaining, preserving and establishing positive mental health outcomes. The course will also enable students to evaluate their nursing practice in relation to State and Commonwealth legislation and policies of relevance to promoting and supporting the mental health and wellbeing of the diverse Australian population, with particular consideration being given to priority populations.

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.

Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways 

For Clinical Psychology & Professional Pathways bands, the student contribution amount is determined by the accredited course. Visit our CSP page for further information, including a list of accredited courses. Students not studying in an accredited course will pay the fees listed above. 

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
