The course is designed for health professionals experienced in working within remote and Indigenous contexts to advance their knowledge of the discipline of Remote Health.

It aims to extend their current knowledge across three major content areas that underpin practice within the discipline of Remote 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

One or more of the following may constitute prima facie evidence of unsatisfactory progress for the purposes of the University's Policy on Student Progress:

• Failure to complete the course within six consecutive semesters
• The award of a grade of Fail (F) in the same topic on more than one occasion
• The award of a grade of Fail (F) in 9 units or more
