Graduate Diploma of Health Management
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
The Graduate Diploma of Health Management is run by Monash's Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine for people already working in or around clinical health systems who need formal management training. Across 48 credit points you cover the financial, legal, quality-improvement and policy sides of running a hospital or health service, alongside epidemiology and biostatistics units that let you read evidence critically rather than just apply management theory. Core units include law for health systems, clinical leadership and management, financial management in health care, and foundations of health policy, with electives drawn from Monash's Master of Public Health suite covering everything from health economics to Indigenous health equity. It suits clinicians, hospital administrators and quality assurance managers who want a management credential that speaks directly to their sector rather than a generic MBA. Entry normally requires a bachelor's degree in a clinical or health-adjacent discipline with a credit average, and graduates who do well can progress into the Master of Health Management or Master of Public Health without starting again from scratch.
