Graduate Diploma in Indigenous Health Promotion
Marliyn Wise, Shane Hearn and Suzanne Plater going through the final preparations for the inaugural delivery.
The University of Sydney's School of Public Health, MICRRH and Queensland Health have established a partnership that has resulted in the Graduate Diploma in
Indigenous Health Promotion being available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers and other health professionals from Mt Isa and the
surrounding areas.
The program aims to give students the opportunity to add to their knowledge and skills in promoting the health of their communities, and includes areas of study such as community profile and setting priorities for promoting health; program development; working with communities; communication as a tool for promoting health; social action to improve the health of communities; research and evaluation to support culturally effective project development and implementation.
The program is held at MICRRH in Mount Isa, and students come from as far as Mornington Island and Townsville to attend six five-day intensive blocks over a one year period. They return to their communities after each block to implement what they have learned.
Students are taught by two of Australia's leading health promotion professionals, Ms Marliyn Wise and Mr Shane Hearn from The University of Sydney's Australian Centre for Health Promotion, and other teaching professionals from a range of disciplines, with some sessions delivered via Video conferences.
Students who complete the program will have a nationally-recognised qualification in health promotion that will equip them for work in a wide range of community-controlled and mainstream settings.
