Graduate Certificate in Health Administration, Policy and Leadership
Murdoch University, Perth, WA, Australia
About this program
The health industry is changing quickly, driven by an ageing population, rising consumer expectations, digital and technological disruption, the burden of chronic disease, and a growing focus on data and privacy. This course is designed for recent graduates, people exploring a new career in the health sector, and clinical practitioners seeking a pathway into administration, policy, or leadership. Students can specialise in health administration and leadership, evaluation and policy, or health informatics and analytics, or take a non-specialised, broader pathway, with teaching delivered by health research and industry experts connected to employers at a local, national, and international level. Health administration and policy roles are not on Australia's skilled occupation lists in the way clinical roles such as nursing or engineering are, so this certificate suits students building a health-sector career within Australia or applying acquired skills elsewhere rather than pursuing a direct points-based migration pathway. The course is delivered by Murdoch University in Western Australia.
