About the course
The Master of Mental Health builds on prior postgraduate mental health study to strengthen clinicians’ advanced practice and leadership capabilities. It emphasises evidence-based approaches to mental health care and supports development of specialist clinical and research skills. Students can choose a project stream with an independent project and electives, or a research stream culminating in a dissertation, with a pathway to PhD articulation in the research option.
Career outcome
Graduates can apply advanced mental health knowledge across diverse service contexts, including public and private healthcare, community and rehabilitation services, and child, adult and older-person mental health programs. The degree supports roles such as clinician, case manager, team leader, service manager and triage manager, and can suit nursing pathways including consultation-liaison and nurse practitioner functions. It also prepares graduates for work in policy, consumer/carer organisations and mental health research.
