Health and Biomedical Sciences

A global pandemic, an ageing population, a growing burden of chronic diseases. The challenges our healthcare sector faces are bigger than ever and require a highly skilled workforce that is more empathetic and responsive to change.

As Australia’s largest employer, there’s never been a better time to join the health industry. Your studies could lead to careers in treating illness, designing vaccines to prevent diseases or impacting public health policy.
