About studying health services & support
This area is broad. It includes public health, health promotion, paramedicine, health administration and related fields. Some of these lead to a registered profession and some do not, so the individual course matters more here than the area does.
This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.
Getting into health services & support courses
Selection is primarily ATAR-based. Units 3 and 4 English is the usual prerequisite. Courses with clinical placement, paramedicine especially, also require immunisations, a police check and a working with children check before you can go on placement.
This describes the field in general, not this course. Check the university's page for what this course covers.
These are the lowest rank and the lowest ATAR that got an offer in 2026, not a cut-off or a guarantee. Next year's depends on how many places there are and who applies. How ATARs really work · Didn't get the ATAR you needed?
What this course asks for beyond your ATAR
Courses like this usually include placements or on-campus intensives, even when you study online, and the university's course page has the details for this one.
We show that these requirements exist, not what they currently say, because universities change them and we would rather send you to the source than repeat something out of date. Check the current requirements with QTAC.

Do students stay and finish?
Source: Dept of Education, 2024Of students who started at CQUniversity in 2016, nine years later:
- Finished a degree
- 55.7%
- Still studying
- 6%
- Left after returning
- 24.9%
- Never came back after first year
- 13.4%
More recently: of new CQUniversity bachelor students in 2023, 20.2% didn't come back to study at any university the following year.
Students are followed if they move: finishing a degree at another university counts as finishing, and moving to another university doesn't count as leaving. Read these alongside the quality measures, not instead of them. Completion and attrition partly reflect who a university enrols – universities serving more regional, mature-age and part-time students naturally run higher attrition without being worse at teaching. What completion rates tell you
What it costs, next to what graduates earn
Total student contribution:3.5 years × $9,880/year ≈ up to about $34,600Estimate
The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – CQUniversity did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. A double degree is charged at two rates. We only hold one, so the real total may be lower. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront.
