The Graduate Certificate in Mental Health Nursing offers you a self-paced, hyperflexible online course, ideal for busy, emerging health leaders looking for specialist skills in postgraduate mental health nursing.
Through this course, you will develop foundation knowledge and skills in mental health nursing, so it's an ideal course for you if you are interested in mental health nursing or are newly employed in mental health. You will build your skills and knowledge in undertaking mental health assessments, risk assessments and formulations, along with psychotropic medications, and recovery. The Graduate Certificate is not only the ideal course to build a solid foundation in mental health nursing but also a great place to start as you become familiar with our online learning platform.
If you are interested in developing advanced mental health knowledge and skills, this Graduate Certificate provides an ideal pathway into our Graduate Diploma of Mental Health Nursing, which is nationally accredited by the Australian College of Mental Health Nursing. This means that you will graduate from the Graduate Diploma with specialist mental health nursing skills and knowledge. Plus, after completing the Graduate Diploma you can later apply to become a credentialed Mental Health Nurse through the Australian College of Mental Health Nursing (if you meet the other requirements). After completing the Graduate Diploma, you may like to extend your studies and continue on in the Master of Mental Health Nursing.
Developed with industry and lived experience academics, we’ve made sure our mental health nursing courses are evidence-based and clinically relevant so that your studies truly reflect current and emerging mental health nursing matters. Add to this the hyperflexible online delivery, where you set your own pace and affordable tuition fees, and you have a suite of mental health nursing courses that allow you to fit study around your life, not the other way around.
