The Child and Adolescent Health specialisation is available to study as a graduate certificate and as part of the Master of Advanced Practice. It is suitable for registered nurses interested in designing and implementing early intervention strategies at the individual, family and community level. 

 

Key components include:

• child and adolescent health within the collaborative primary healthcare framework, and best practice sociocultural health support
• physical and psychosocial development of children aged 0 to 18 years within family, education and community environments
• applying the evidence-based community models of healthcare planning and clinical decision-making.

 

Your learning will be consolidated with a clinical placement that includes interprofessional learning and collaboration. Before your clinical placement, you’ll complete a five-day pre-clinical skills workshop at Curtin Perth.¹

 

The Graduate Certificate in Child and Adolescent Health Specialisation is offered as an online course that is studied on a part-time basis only. We recommend that you study one or two units per semester. This graduate certificate is available in semester 1.
