Overview

The Master of Medical and Health Leadership brings together both health care and management knowledge to provide you with the necessary leadership and management skills to undertake senior leadership positions in health effectively and to influence the direction and culture of the health care workforce.

Designed for all clinicians—nurses, allied health professionals, administrators and doctors—this course allows you to study from any location at your own pace.

Developed by industry and academic experts, you will have the opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding of health systems and governance, change management models and tools, emotional intelligence and its application to leadership, financial management, health policy, promotion, law and ethics, operations management, organisational behaviour, project planning, marketing, and research skills.

This qualification will broaden the employment scope for health professionals with either a clinical or administrative background. You will acquire relevant critical skills and knowledge needed to be a leader in health care.

This program is offered part-time, and is fully online, using best practice in technology-enhanced learning. It will be taught by experienced industry and academic staff.

We also offer a graduate certificate which is a pathway for further studies or roles in the sector.
