Master of Advanced Health Care Practice
Monash University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia
About this program
Monash's Master of Advanced Health Care Practice lets registered health practitioners specialise into advanced practice roles across medical imaging, occupational therapy, paediatric physiotherapy or radiation therapy, graduating with a degree named for their specific specialisation. Depending on which specialisation a student chooses, the course offers either a purely coursework pathway or a combination of coursework and a supervised research project, letting practitioners choose the format that best fits their career goals. Entry requires existing registration with Ahpra or an equivalent professional body plus at least two years of relevant clinical experience, meaning this is explicitly for practitioners already working in their field rather than new graduates. It suits experienced allied health and imaging professionals who've reached the limits of what their current qualification lets them do clinically, and want formal advanced-practice credentials that expand their scope of practice within their existing profession.
