Graduate Certificate in Case Management

This postgraduate program provides case managers in diverse practice roles, including rehabilitation coordinators, practitioners in the employment services industry and people in related human service and allied health roles with the skills and knowledge to effectively manage programs that support their clients to achieve personal and system goals.

This includes a wide range of human service and rehabilitation programs supporting diverse populations with complex needs, assisting clients to obtain and maintain employment and supporting people with injury or disability to achieve functional and participation goals.

You will be introduced to the values, theories, frameworks, principles and skills of person-centred planning, case management, and communication skills, and therefore become more efficient at determining individual need and planning, coordinating and procuring a range of appropriate services and supports to promote the goals of diverse clients.

As part of this degree you have the opportunity to get community-based and/or work-integrated learning by choosing Community Internship as one of your elective subjects. You can help the community, change lives and make the planet a better place while gaining academic credit. Additionally, you will engage with a multidisciplinary cohort of fellow student in this degree, and the chance to make new professional connections, while under the tutelage of our experienced academic staff.

This program can provide you with the knowledge and skills required to transition your career into a new industry. Whether you have existing human services experience or are undergoing a career transition, you will be prepared for effective case management work within your own profession and for further studies in rehabilitation counselling, human services or community mental health practice, as this degree offers a pathway for you to continue study with the Master of Rehabilitation Counselling.
