Health
Career opportunities in the health sector have never been better.
Job growth in the sector is strong and continues to increase steadily as public health issues such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle and ageing populations affect health care systems not only in Australia but around the world.
Practical work experience programs are an important part of many Deakin Health courses and provide students with the opportunity to gain practical knowledge and skills under the supervision of qualified practitioners in their chosen area of study.
