This program has been designed to provide students with the essential knowledge, skills and attributes required for senior managerial roles in health service delivery. A key focus of the program is promoting health leadership in areas of strategic planning, policy and decision-making within the Australian context and the broader global environment. A strong emphasis is also placed on understanding and meeting the challenges of safety and quality within current and emerging health service contexts. The objective of the program is to develop judgment-ready practitioners who can impact on health service issues and systems.

The program is divided into two components, for a total of 48 units of credit. These components are Core Courses (36 units of credit) and Electives (12 units of credit). For further details, see the Program Information.

This plan is offered part-time in distance mode with a number of compulsory workshops held during a Residential School at the Kensington campus twice a year, one week before each semester.
