This Faculty contains the 学校 of Medicine, Nursing, Midwifery, Health Sciences and Physiotherapy. Led by Executive Dean Professor Aron Murphy, the Faculty employs an holistic approach across a diverse range of disciplines, using the latest re搜索 and innovation to advance societal understanding of disease, injury, pain and ageing, as well as developing professionals who can offer high quality healthcare and patient support.

Welcome from the Executive Dean

Professor Aron Murphy

Excellence in the health professions and in evidence-based health care is fundamental to the health and well-being, hopes and prosperity of all Australians. Never has health been more important to our global community than now, as we face unprecedented challenges in access, quality and sustainability in the context of a global pandemic. Further, the health sector is continually evolving to accommodate emerging trends such as the use of technology and ageing populations. Health is currently the largest employer in Australia with many occupations expected to experience double-digit growth in employment through to 2024.

This exciting new Faculty provides an extraordinary platform for teaching, re搜索, scholarship and advocacy in health in Australia and internationally. The Faculty combines the strengths of excellent undergraduate and postgraduate programs in health sciences, nursing and midwifery, and physiotherapy, with our highly regarded postgraduate programs in medicine, across three states, in metropolitan, rural and remote Australia. Each of our programs incorporates significant work-integrated learning, ensuring students gain the practical experience and clinical skills they need to enter the workforce with confidence.

The two National 学校 in the Faculty (School of Medicine and School of Nursing, Midwifery, Health Sciences & Physiotherapy) share a common approach to excellence, with a deep respect for the dignity of human life and a focus on compassionate and ethical practice across the health professions.An emphasis on applied learning and teaching in the clinical environment, in combination with a focus on personal and professional development of our graduates as future clinicians, teachers, coaches and scientists, are hallmarks of the Notre Dame health programs.

Studies in bioethics, exceptional pastoral care for students, a focus on social justice and commitment to community through volunteering and service learning are distinguishing features of Notre Dame’s health portfolio. Opportunities for rural and remote healthcare experience, commitment to developing environmentally sustainable health care and building cultural safety for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples also reflect our emphasis on access and equity in health. A trans-disciplinary approach to re搜索 and academic development highlights the value of a team of professionals in delivering quality in healthcare and advancing new horizons.

Rounding out our comprehensive offerings in health education, the Faculty works closely with the healthcare sector and other industry partners with an active and vibrant program of world class re搜索 that aims to improve current knowledge and patient treatment and management. Cornerstone to the Faculty’s re搜索 agenda is its 健康研究所, which has an enviable reputation for its biostatistical capacity, academic success and in the training of new and emerging health re搜索ers.

As the inaugural Executive Dean of the Faculty I am excited and privileged to be leading this vital area of academic endeavour at Notre Dame.
