EHS Management

Graduates move into emergency health services, emergency planning, or managerial positions within EHS and disaster agencies, and some progress to the Master of Health Administration programme.

The Diploma of Emergency Health Services Management is a 10-credit, fully online programme delivered over two semesters. In the first semester you study Healthcare Financial Management, Health Law for Non-Lawyers and Quality Improvements in EHS; the second semester expands on management processes and human-resource issues. It is aimed at working professionals and can be completed in one year full-time or through flexible part-time routes, with optional 3-credit certificates in EHS Planning and EHS Management that count toward the diploma.
