About this course

Adolescent health and wellbeing reflects a complex set of interactions between biology and social context, both of which have changed dramatically over time. The health and wellbeing of 10-24 year old adolescents and young adults has not improved to nearly the same extent as younger children and older adults. At the same time, new scientific understandings, public health interventions and service responses offer more sophisticated opportunities to advance adolescent health than ever before. Delivered online, the Graduate Certificate in Adolescent Health and Wellbeing will provide you with the latest knowledge of adolescent health and development, prevention frameworks and skills to work more effectively with individuals and populations in schools and communities, and within health services.

What you will learn

Gain the skills to communicate effectively with young people from different sectors, families, cultural and community backgrounds.

Build a repertoire of professional, legal and ethical capabilities for implementing effective programs and practices in the settings where young people live, work, learn and play.

Engage with some of the world' experts in adolescent health research and practice.

Career pathways

Across the world, very few courses provide a comprehensive, integrated view of adolescent health and wellbeing. On completion, you'll have gained significant expertise in adolescent health. You'll have the knowledge, skills and confidence to consider how your current and future roles can better address the developmental, social and environmental influences on adolescents' lives. Our graduates typically find that in addition to new knowledge and skills, they have gained the confidence to challenge old beliefs, implement new ideas and negotiate alternative employment pathways - both within and beyond their current employment.
