Delivery of multidisciplinary primary health care (PHC) is a core aspect of health policy in Australia and throughout the world. This mid-level course prepares students for roles in PHC irrespective of their discipline background and career aspirations. The course develops students' knowledge and skills so that they can contribute to excellence in PHC, whether as managers, planners, clinicians or researchers. This course provides the knowledge and expertise students require to work effectively within new frameworks and improve the coordination of continuity of care for patients. The content enables students to develop skills in developing an equity-based approach to planning and managing health services in communities.

Graduates are employed in clinical roles, in management and leadership within government-funded PHC organisations and in NGOs working within the PHC setting in Australia and internationally.
