Are you looking to help people in the most direct way possible, but you’re not sure where to start? Working in the Australian health care industry is incredibly rewarding, and covers a wide range of services, from mental health to aged care and beyond.

Whether you work in the public health system, with private health insurance or in palliative care, you can have a career that helps others when they need it most.

What is health?

Working in health services is a broad term that covers all of the services that help people who are mentally or physically in need of help. If you work in the industry, you join a wide range of health professionals who help make a difference to people every single day. They do this by providing health information on every area from sexual health to physical activity, treating illnesses like heart disease or maintaining a healthy weight, and providing mental health services for those in our public hospitals or private institutions.

Why should I study a health course?

Almost every element of healthcare requires some degree of training. After all, when you’re at your most vulnerable, you wouldn’t want to receive care or advice from someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.

Even if you’re not interested in the more hands-on elements of healthcare, like working in an emergency department, there are many other integral elements to healthcare systems. Most of these aspects of healthcare require you to complete a course.

Areas you could work in include:

  • Community health and population health
  • Medical research and development of medication
  • Working with older people in aged care facilities
  • Specialising in child health through nursing or pediatrics
  • Working with the Australian government in the department of health to maintain an accurate health record of the population
  • Specialising in specific health conditions and delivering treatments, e.g. radiation therapy
  • Delivering required immunisation levels in rural areas or to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people
  • Looking at environmental health and how that affects the population

All of these areas require you to study a course to be considered qualified. So whether it’s an online course in an area like administration, or a face to face course in nursing to work in women’s health, a course is crucial to your success.

How can I study?

Whether you’re in Melbourne or Darwin, there’s a way for you to learn. The prevalence of online courses is only increasing, and new courses in health issues, chronic disease and even environmental health appear all the time. It’s never been easier to complete a health course before! So get started on your future today by browsing our list of available health courses!
