Course Rundown
The Diploma of Health and Wellbeing, offered by Torrens University Australia, is an online qualification designed to build a solid foundation in physical, mental, and social health. Delivered across three trimesters full time, with part-time options available, this Australian Qualifications Framework Level 5 course explores how a range of factors — from nutrition and fitness to social determinants and health inequities — shape the wellbeing of individuals and communities. Students gain a thorough grounding in human function and wellness, with a strong emphasis on holistic health, positive ageing, and disease prevention.
The course comprises five core subjects and three electives, each requiring around ten hours of study per week, with no formal exams. Core areas of study include understanding health, social and emotional wellbeing, mental health, disease prevention, and health promotion. Elective subjects allow students to tailor their learning across areas such as organisational psychology, lifespan development, corporate health, active ageing and falls prevention, and First Peoples culture, history and healthcare. This breadth of content equips graduates with practical skills to design and implement health promotion strategies, support diverse population groups, and contribute meaningfully to community wellbeing.
Graduates of the Diploma of Health and Wellbeing may pursue career pathways as a Health Promotion Officer, Wellness Coordinator, or Health Advisor, particularly within the corporate health and aged care sectors. The qualification also provides a recognised pathway into bachelor-level study, including the Bachelor of Psychological Science and the Bachelor of Community Services at Torrens University Australia. Students benefit from small class sizes, online flexibility, and support from Success Coaches throughout their studies. Enquire to learn more.
