This arrangement, with the Faculty of Health Sciences, will be valid for 3 years, or up to the scheduled PSM program review date, whichever is earlier.

Provided that you have achieved a credit average in your PSM Program studies, you will receive credit for one of the core topics, HSMT9012 Managing People and Organisations in Health and Aged Care (6 units) and 2 elective topics (2 x 6 units).  This is a total of 18 units or 1/3 of the program. Pro-rata credit (12 units) is also available in the Graduate Diploma in Health Administration.

Please note that entry to the postgraduate health administration programs requires both qualifications, and postgraduate professional experience, as follows:

Graduate Diploma in Health Administration - an approved degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution and not less than 2 years’ professional experience in the health sector following completion of the degree or equivalent qualification.

Master of Health Administration - an approved degree or equivalent qualification from an approved tertiary institution and not less than four years’ professional experience in the health sector following completion of the degree or equivalent qualification.

The phrase ‘health sector’ includes aged care experience.

Please do not be deterred if you do not have an undergraduate degree as the breadth and years of your work experience will be considered in the entry decision.

Staff of the Department of Health Management are very happy to assist you with any questions on the programs, the credit arrangement or your eligibility for entry. Contact Pam Maslin on (08) 8201 7757 or pam.maslin@flinders.edu.au

Headed by new Commissioner for Public Employment Warren McCann, the office will bring together several functions which support the Commissioner including ethical conduct, succession planning and workforce data collection previously carried out by the Public Sector Workforce Division. As a result PSWD has been renamed Public Sector Workforce Relations and will focus on crucial industrial issues over the next 12 months.

The SA PSM Program has been transferred to this new office effective November 3 2008.

Our office location and postal address remains unchanged.
