Program Description

Fundamental to this programme is assisting you to nurture strong partnerships with a child or young person and their family which is driven by effective communication and respect. You will develop the skills to enable children and young people to be meaningful participants in managing their own care.The programme reflects the changing health care environment, where services are designed around the needs of children, young people, and their families, focusing on the whole child not just their illness.
