Ravi Kasirim
Student Profile
I've definitely gained a wide range of valuable skills that would be beneficial to me in the future, such as project management skills, communication skills, and interpersonal skills, problem-solving and even had the chance to help out at a homeless shelter in Northbridge and I got to interact with the homeless people there too.

As an alumnus of UWA who is heavily involved in the health system as CEO of HBF, I am very proud to chair the Graduate Certificate in Health Leadership and Management. This new course is a much needed boost to health services education and I think it will be very popular.
Graduate Certificate in Autism Diagnosis
Sarah Heppel
Student Profile
I think Autism is quite a complex condition and a lot of health professionals might be scared to make a diagnosis or don’t have much understanding about the condition, so this course has really increased my confidence in the ability to make those decisions and to recognise what is and isn’t presenting similarly to Autism.
Graduate Certificate in the diagnosis and assessment of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
Elizabeth Sydney Smith – Speech Pathologist
Student Profile
The online lectures were engaging and flexibly accessible to me, particularly since I live in the Kimberley and working full-time. This course has been invaluable to me as a young professional.
