Study a Diploma of Health Administration (10720NAT)

When you think about hospitals or other healthcare facilities, you probably think about all the doctors and nurses that work there! How often do you think about the thousands of people who work hard behind the scenes to enable hospitals to run efficiently? Health care facilities need leaders with a broad range of skills that include budgeting, human resources and operations.

We have health administrators to thank for the correct handling and storing of medical records, maintenance of equipment, stock control and meeting health and the strict OHS compliance requirements.  

Why study Health Administration?

The healthcare industry is rapidly growing not only in Australia, but also around the world. Doctors, nurses and carers have a critical role in the sector, but these could not do their job efficiently without experienced administrative staff.

Health and Welfare Service Managers can expect to earn about $2,148 per week depending on their experience. To become a health care manager, you will need to have a formal qualification or relevant work experience.

Statistics indicate that there will be 3000 new jobs a year for Health and Welfare Service Managers.
