Program Overview

The Master of Health Administration will help you develop the skills and experience you need to lead and manage projects, health agencies, services and programs. We'll prepare you to advance into leadership and management in the public and private sectors in general management and in specialist roles in areas such as project management, quality management and the management of particular health professions.

Our teaching staff have clinical qualifications in areas such as medicine, physiotherapy, nursing, organisational psychology and statistics, and in health administration research. They've worked in senior healthcare management roles in Australia and overseas, with organisations such as the Toronto Hospital (Canada), Inner and Eastern Healthcare Network (Melbourne) and various consulting firms, as well as having extensive governance experience.

The range of electives allows you to further explore health economics and finance, health law and ethics, and process redesign.

The subject timetable is designed to give you the flexibility you need to successfully balance study with your other commitments: the combination of evening, block and online study modes means that you can choose when and how you study.

Specialisation: Ageing Strategy and Policy

As Australia's population ages and an increasing number of people live with disabilities and chronic conditions, our healthcare needs are changing.

You'll make meaningful change to this evolving sector. Build on your existing skills as you explore the social and health service challenges facing ageing adults, and how the social determinants of health impact the health and wellbeing of ageing adults. Learn about governance and policy development, while also honing the critical thinking skills necessary to tackle this issue in a strategic and informed way.
