Course overview

Deakin’s Graduate Certificate of Disability and Inclusion equips students with the academic knowledge they need to pursue professional work in the disability, health, and community sectors.

The course will help you to form a distinctive and contemporary understanding of disability. Drawing on research informed by disability and inclusion theory and practice, the Graduate Certificate of Disability and Inclusion also gives you the opportunity to learn from the lived experience of people with disability.

This graduate certificate comprises four core single credit point units, and is designed to meet specialist education and training needs in the disability, human service and community workforce both locally and nationally. Graduates of this course are ideally placed to take advantage of the growth opportunities in these sectors as the National Disability Insurance Scheme is rolled out across Australia in 2016.
