Rank or ATAR? Which number counts

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 2024, 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

Before you can start placement you will need immunisations. This does not affect whether you get in. It is worth knowing early because some of it takes time to organise.

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they currently say, because universities change them and we would rather send you to the source than repeat something out of date.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 at TISC

Do students stay and finish?

Source: Dept of Education, 2024

Of students who started at Murdoch in 2016, nine years later:

Finished a degree
59.8%
Still studying
6%
Left after returning
23.3%
Never came back after first year
10.9%

More recently: of new Murdoch bachelor students in 2023, 18.3% 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:5 years × $9,880/year ≈ $49,400Estimate

The Australian government sets this rate by field of study, so it is the same at every university in the country – Murdoch did not set it and cannot discount it. Your exact total depends on the subjects you pick. Paid through HELP once you're earning, not upfront. How HECS-HELP works
