This course will provide students with the specialised skills and knowledge needed to work with people with complex needs in both community services and healthcare settings. This course will equip students to work with a diverse range of clients, run early intervention and health promotion programs, and research and apply evidence to practice. Students will also develop the skills required to advocate on behalf of people with complex coexisting mental health, drug, and alcohol issues.

Students undertake initial study at TAFE Queensland and complete the degree at the relevant university. Duration, location, mode of study, semester intake, electives and specialisations may vary.
