Pathways into the Health Industry

If you are interested in a career in health then the next step is..'how do I get there?'.

It is important to remember that there are a variety of pathways into the health industry. You can go straight from Year 12 to university but if you can't or don't want to, then your options are still open! You may not have the grades to qualify for the degree you want, you may not have done the pre-requisistes that are needed, you may simply not want to go to university, or you may like the sound of other courses like the ones at TAFE. You can still enjoy a career in health!

Interested in learning more about what health professionals do day-to-day?

Head to our Careers in the Health Industry page.

Please note...

The Qualifications provide by TAFE listed below (Certificates and Diplomas) are nationally recognised courses. That means that other Registered Training Organisations (RTO's) in Queensland could potentially offer these courses. TAFE is Queensland's largest RTO however we recommend you look into other RTO's to find out if they offer a course more suitable to your location and/or preferred mode of delivery.

Please read more about RTO's by downloading this document

You can also search our links for useful websites about RTO's and training options

Health Courses in Queensland

Below is a comprehensive list of courses in the health industry that are offered in QLD and northern NSW. We endeavour to update this list every year as Universities may add more courses or withdraw others. We have researched all the Universities in Queensland, northern New South Wales, and our largest Registered Training Organisation - TAFE Queensland.

Whilst we have predominantly listed only those courses that are offered as a single qualification (e.g. Bachelor Degree), please take note that some variations may apply that could be of interest to you. For example:
- Dual degree programs
- Opportunities for TAFE-Uni articulation
- Different majors or specialty areas of study within a program
