Public health matters - now more than ever. Â
Are you passionate about the health and well being of your community? Â Are you Interested in public health, community well being, lifestyle, nutrition and health prevention measures?
The Australian health care sector is changing. In the future the focus on health will be moving from the hospital setting to the community. Preventative health, health screening and health education are key factors toward building a healthy society and keeping people well and out of hospital.

You will learn about the underpinning principles of population health work, factors that contribute to health outcomes, national health priorities, research and data collection, consulting with the community, designing population health projects to build community capacity and advocating for improved health outcomes.
