The Graduate School for Health Practice (GSHP) is a joint initiative between Charles Darwin University (CDU) and the Northern Territory Department for Health and Families (DHF) and is located within the Institute of Advanced Studies, CDU.
The GSHP began in 2006 with responsibility for continuing and developing two postgraduate coursework programs. Over the past 4 years we have continued the development and consolidation of courses, and in 2010 we are able to offer students 5 postgraduate courses across Nursing, Midwifery and Child and Family Health.
The school has grown rapidly over the past 4 years and been well accepted across a broad spectrum, from senior policy makers to community based workers. The School has been highly successful in research grant applications, with both staff and research students working on large competitive grants including NHMRC and ARC grants. Many of the team are also involved in Commonwealth sponsored consultancy and tender work.
We are very grateful to the staff of the GSHP and our supporters and partners, in particular the Department of Health and Families, who have made the establishment and growth of the GSHP possible. We invite you to read further for details of projects, courses, achievements and people. Please contact us directly for further information or assistance in school matters.
