Master of Adolescent Health & Wellbeing
Australia’s only postgraduate course dedicated to adolescent health, the Master of Adolescent Health & Wellbeing is delivered online by the Centre for Adolescent Health at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and The Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH).
Accredited through the University of Melbourne, this flexible program offers three qualification levels:
- Graduate Certificate
- Graduate Diploma
- Master of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing
Program overview
Students progress from foundational subjects to specialisation and research, exploring the developmental, psychological, social, and environmental factors that influence adolescent health. The program equips graduates to:
- Understand the evidence base for effective programs and practices
- Work across education, healthcare, and community settings
- Improve life outcomes for young people, their families, and communities
Of all age groups in Australia, adolescents are the only population whose health has not improved over the past three decades. This program aims to change that by strengthening the capabilities of professionals who work with young people.
