As organisations seek to maximise the delivery of services in a climate of economic constraints, the role of health managers demands increasing knowledge of the health industry and expertise in the areas of management, planning and policy making. These awards equip our students with the knowledge and skills to meet these ever changing challenges and to undertake demanding positions in middle to senior management in a variety of health settings. The University has established a sound reputation for its health service management programs. It has more than 25 years of experience in offering health management courses.
Students come from all Australian states and territories and from a number of different countries.
They have a range of health related backgrounds including nursing, medicine, physiotherapy, pharmacy, ambulance services and hospital administration. The courses are regularly reviewed to remain responsive to the needs of the marketplace and are designed to meet the requirements of relevant professional bodies. The Bachelor of Health Management aims to prepare knowledgeable and innovative managers for positions in middle to upper level management in health services. The Graduate Certificate in Health Management aims to meet the needs of health professionals who desire or are required to document evidence of continuing education in order to maintain active membership in their professional associations. It is designed to serve as a flexible, self-directed entry into more advanced academic courses, such as, the Graduate Diploma and Master in Health Management.
