At GlobalHealth Education, we connect prospective students with our partner universities who support their education journey from enrolment to graduation. The courses listed on GHE are healthcare and social services programs available via Australian universities.

GHE's placement network

GHE's placement team helps facilitate placements for healthcare and social services students. We connect placement sites and agencies with healthcare and social services students from multiple universities across Australia who need to complete placement hours to graduate. To date, we have secured placements for hundreds of students connecting them to industry experience and future employment opportunities. Our placement team carefully pairs each student with a suitable placement site or agency. A dedicated placement team member handles all communication from the placement site or agency, including corresponding paperwork and administration tasks associated with the student placement. This process includes a comprehensive consideration of each student’s individual career aspirations, their geographical location and other commitments. This approach provides a valuable learning experience for our students. It also ensures that placement sites and agencies and their supervisors benefit from a mutually enriching partnership, ultimately enhancing the overall student and agency placement experience.

GHE’s partnerships

GHE is currently partnered with six universities across Australia including the University of Canberra, Edith Cowan University, Victoria University, James Cook University, University of Technology Sydney and Southern Cross University. Our current placement partners are Edith Cowan University for their Master of Counselling program and the University of Canberra for their Master of Counselling and Master of Social Work (Qualifying) programs.
