Overview
The World Health Organisation鈥檚 (WHO) Community Engagement Framework promotes collaboration among community leaders, vulnerable people, their families, and other citizens to provide equal opportunities for all people in society. This framework has been utilised in Australia and internationally for social planning, social enterprises, and inclusive community development and is consistent with human rights strategies.

Students will develop knowledge and practical skills in applying community-based approaches with individuals and communities. The course will address access and inclusion in a variety of contexts and consider the needs of different populations.
