About the course

The Master of Health Law is a flexible postgraduate coursework degree exploring legal, ethical and policy issues across healthcare and health services. You’ll examine governance and regulation in health, including the legal impacts of emerging technologies and complex decision-making in clinical and public contexts. The course suits both legal and non-legal professionals seeking specialist capability in health-sector regulation and compliance in a master’s-level law discipline.

Career outcome

Graduates can apply specialist health-law knowledge to roles spanning legal practice and health-sector governance. Career paths may include health and medical law advisory work, compliance and risk roles in hospitals and health organisations, policy and regulatory positions in government agencies, professional standards and complaints bodies, and advocacy or dispute-resolution work related to healthcare. This supports advanced professional practice through a master’s-level qualification in law.
