Health Promotion and Advocacy Specialisation

Health promotion is a fundamental tool in the prevention of disease and the reduction of health inequalities in populations. The success of tobacco control strategies in reducing smoking rates in Australia demonstrate the impact of public health advocacy. The Health Promotion and Advocacy specialisation is designed for students with an interest in designing, implementing and evaluating health promotion interventions and those who want to develop skills in public health advocacy.
