The Communicable Disease Prevention specialisation aims to develop the professional competencies required for effective surveillance of and response to public health incidents in Australia, and globally. Communicable diseases present an ever-changing risk to society, especially considering the speed and scale of national and international travel and cannot be managed solely within a country or by individual states. Incompatible data systems, different laboratory testing and inconsistent legislation currently limit identification and control of inter-state outbreaks and emerging national communicable disease issues. Delays in detection can hamper an effective response. The potential costs to health and the economy are considerable. More new and re-emerging communicable diseases are inevitable due to changing interactions between humans, the environment and organisms. Although inevitable, they are almost impossible to predict. It is essential to build capacity in surveillance, early assessment of potential threats and comprehensive response plans to minimise their acute and longer-term impacts. Globally and nationally countries are prioritising preparedness and need sufficient skilled human capital to respond to all threats - known and unknown.
Students must successfully complete 4 units (50 credit points).
Communicable Disease Epidemiology will explore communicable diseases of humans from an epidemiological perspective. It will provide an introductory overview of the basic biological knowledge needed to understand the interactions within and between populations of microbes, human and other animals. Students…

Become a leader in medication safety.
The Medication Safety specialisation is designed to develop the skills and knowledge to identify, prevent and manage medication-related harm and improve medication outcomes.
Unsafe medication practices and medication errors are a leading cause of injury and avoidable harm in health care systems across the world.

The Organisational Resilience specialisation focuses on resilience, crisis management, corporate security, and business continuity and prepares managers and leaders to respond appropriately to disruption on workforces, enterprises, economies, and individuals.
Organisational resilience is a priority for organisations globally-but fully embedded only by a minority. The pace of disruption to organisations continues to increase, and they are often multiple disruptions at once, such as pandemics, geopolitical instability, and unpredictable markets. Cultivating organisational resilience is critical for survival but challenging to grow.
Now more than ever, organisations face the need to elevate their resilience agenda: both structurally - in terms of accountability and ownership - and culturally, integrating resilience principles throughout the business. In 2023 a Deloitte survey of 700 board members, executives, directors, and senior leaders with accountability or responsibility for resilience or crisis management within their organisations. It highlights that while senior executives recognise the need for more forward-looking, proactive, and strategic approaches to resilience, there's also a struggle to develop and implement them within their organisations Building capacity in organisations requires building capacity in individuals to lead these efforts.
Students must successfully complete 4 units (50 credit points).
Organisational resilience refers to an organisation’s ability to adapt, evolve, respond, and recover from short term shocks (be they natural hazards or significant changes in market dynamics) and to shape itself to respond to long term challenges. This requires practitioners…

How is this calculated?
This is an estimate. The calculation is based on the average part-time enrolment for this course in 2026. All figures are indicative only for 2027. Actual tuition fees will depend on specific unit enrolment, and are subject to annual increases each year. You can find the complete fee details for each unit of study on the individual unit pages.

HECS-HELP loans
You may be able to defer payment of the student contribution amount by accessing a HECS-HELP loan from the Government. If eligible, you’ll only have to pay your tuition fees once you start earning above a specific amount.
Further information on student loans and a CSP eligibility checker can be found at Australian Government Study Assist.
An important note on Youth Allowance and Austudy
The Department of Social Services has approved some accredited and professionally-oriented master’s courses for student payments through Youth Allowance or Austudy. This means if you enrol in one of these courses, you may be eligible for student payments. However, this is not the case for all master’s courses. Please visit Scholarships, fees and costs for further information.
