Overview

Gain the practical experience needed to thrive in healthcare environments, with the Certificate IV in Health Administration (HLT47321) traineeship at Victoria University.

This industry-recognised traineeship combines paid, hands-on work with tailored learning, helping you build the knowledge and confidence to succeed as a health administrator. You’ll gain a strong understanding of the healthcare system and your role within it – while working directly in a healthcare setting.

What you'll learn:

managing patient records and medical billing
understanding legal frameworks, codes of conduct, and workplace safety
applying infection prevention and control procedures
using medical terminology and maintaining clinical documentation
responding to difficult situations and managing challenging behaviour
leading teams and fostering team cohesion.

Your workplace experience will be supported by one day per week of supported learning through Victoria University.

: This qualification reflects the role of individuals who work in operational or team leading roles in health administration. These workers follow known routines and procedures, taking responsibility for their own work under general supervision but with a view to progressing into leadership roles. They combine communication, customer service and technical skills, and use discretion and judgment to adapt and transfer their skills to different situations.
: Some skills are best learnt on the job.
By undertaking a traineeship, you can earn a wage while you learn, developing skills at work under the guidance of experienced professionals.
Throughout, you will also receive support and essential training from Victoria University (VU) staff.
