Build your knowledge in vision impairment and gain specialised expertise to improve the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired. This program is the first of its kind in Australia, offering students from a range of educational and employment backgrounds the opportunity to grow their skills and understand the causes and implications of vision impairment for people in our communities. 

 

Expand your career opportunities by gaining a deep understanding of how to deliver client-focused services with an ethical and culturally aware lens. You’ll learn about the wider personal ecosystem that impacts the services provided for those who are blind or have vision impairment in our communities on disability, diversity, and social inclusion.

 

Broaden your knowledge of the impact of ocular disease and cortical damage, and discover evidence-based approaches to vision rehabilitation. Specialise further with elective courses that dive into assistive technologies, implications of development and aging for vision impairment, public health and policy, and research.
