Graduate Certificate in Health Leadership and Management
UNSW Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
About this program
UNSW's Graduate Certificate in Health Leadership and Management builds the theoretical and technical capacity health professionals need for leadership roles in health service management, whether in Australia or internationally. The program develops strategic leadership, change management, workforce management, quality enhancement and decision-making skills specific to health systems, aimed at health professionals looking to move from clinical or operational roles into management. Two main entry pathways exist, both requiring a three-year undergraduate degree in any field plus two years of full-time professional or volunteer experience in a relevant health-adjacent role, with a third exceptional pathway available for candidates who don't meet the standard criteria. It suits health professionals ready to formalise leadership ambitions with a credential built specifically for health service contexts rather than generic MBA-style management training, and it functions as a direct stepping stone into the Master of Health Leadership and Management for those who want to keep progressing.
