In this unit, you will consolidate your clinical skills within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework by completing a clinical block placement and attending on-campus tutorials. In your block placement, you will assess, treat, and manage communication and/or swallowing disorders with paediatric and/or adult clients. By the end of your placement, you need to demonstrate entry-level competence across each of the Competency-Based Occupational Standards (CBOS, 2011) and the generic professional competencies described in the Competency Assessment in Speech Pathology (COMPASS ®), across different range of practice areas.

All on-campus students are expected to attend scheduled classes – in some units, these classes are identified as a mandatory (pass/fail) component and attendance is compulsory. International students, on a student visa, must maintain a full time study load and meet both attendance and academic progress requirements in each study period (satisfactory attendance for International students is defined as maintaining at least an 80% attendance record).
Each 12-credit Undergraduate unit at CQUniversity requires an overall time commitment of an average of 25 hours of study per week, making a total of 300 hours for the unit.
