Graduate Diploma of Public Health

Public health is a broad field which aims to improve and protect the health and well-being of the general population. As a public health practitioner, you can make a real difference to the lives of local, national and international communities.Public health practitioners help individuals and communities to have greater control over their health and well-being, and to influence organisational and political environments in ways that lead to better health for all. They work across the lifespan, including the early years, child and adolescent health, and healthy aging to support population health. We realise that public health is such a broad area, which is why this graduate diploma offers a variety of elective units to allow you to specialise in an area of interest. The course can also be used as a pathway into the Master of Public Health, helping you to further develop your public health knowledge.[071517E]
