Aim

The program prepares graduates to improve the health, fitness and wellbeing of the community and qualifies individuals who apply a broad and coherent knowledge of psychological science. In the field of Health and Physical Education it prepares graduates to work as school counsellors and opens up opportunities for graduates pursuing a teaching career to teach Health and Physical Education, Science and Psychology at secondary level.

This double degree can form the first part of a pathway to becoming a practising psychologist (including sports psychologist) with further study in the Bachelor of Psychology (Honours), and the first part of a pathway to teaching with further study in the Master of Teaching.

All students in the Division of Health Sciences who, as part of their program, undertake activities where interaction with patients/the public is required, such as in field or clinical placements/visits and in University clinics and gyms, must demonstrate that they have a Department for Communities and Social Inclusion National Criminal History Record Check, which will be current for the duration of that activity. Interstate student placements require a National Police Certificate.

2. Students must have a 'Provide First Aid Certificate', Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Certificate (CPR) and Child Safe Environments training certificate, prior to the commencement of any field placement.
