As a Bachelor of Health Sciences graduate, you can be confident you will have a solid grounding in a range of health-related fields. You will graduate prepared for a successful career in the largest and fastest growing employment sector in Australia.

　　Become a specialist in up to three major areas or broaden your knowledge and skill set through elective units. Combining your interests with multiple majors can increase your competitiveness for a variety of health roles while opening the door to further study. This course also offers valuable workplace learning opportunities, giving you the chance to apply your knowledge in real-world contexts and build professional networks in the health sector.

　　In the context of unprecedented global health issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change, those entering the health workforce today must be equipped with the strategies and techniques needed to help solve these challenges, prevent diseases and promote conditions that optimise population health.
