Aims

The course is designed for health professionals experienced in working within the remote and Indigenous context to advance their knowledge of the discipline of Remote Health. The program aims to further extend students' current knowledge across three major content areas that underpin practice within the discipline of Remote and Indigenous Health locally, nationally and internationally. These content areas are:

  • The remote context: an inseparable work and living environment characterised by unique cultural, linguistic, social, economic, geographical, and climatic conditions
  • Public health: a population based framework for planning, developing, managing and evaluating initiatives and programs to promote health and prevent disease
  • Application to practice: the inter-professional and profession specific skills, knowledge and attributes required for competent, confident, accountable remote and Indigenous health practice within a primary health care framework
