Study Mental Health
You can make a real transformation to the lives of many and have a thriving career as a mental health professional. One in eight Australians are currently experiencing high or very high psychological distress, leading to a rapidly growing rate of support-seeking (ABS National Health Survey 2017-18).
Our courses not only respond to contemporary mental health research and policy, but they also provide an understanding of the way mental health services are designed, funded and delivered in Australia.
Whether you are looking to enhance your clinical capabilities, expand your career opportunities or turn a passion into a specialised career, our courses have been designed with the input of leading clinical and academic mental health professionals.
Focus your learning in mental health theory and practice with core units including physical healthcare needs, evidence-based case formulation and common interventions within acute care contexts, in primary mental health as well contemporary applications of developmental psychology and psychological therapies.
