Understand and Mitigate the Health Risks Children Face

The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that 23% of all deaths and 24% of global disease can be attributed to adverse environmental exposures. And 40% of those affected are children under the age of five.

Your opportunity to play a role in the fight to improve conditions for children worldwide begins here, with this health qualification from Curtin University. The course has been developed in conjunction with the WHO Collaborating Centre for Research on Children's Environmental Health, and provides comprehensive training for work or continued study in this important field.

Working health care professionals or people with a desire to move into health-related work will benefit from this very specialised course. It is suited but not limited to:

• Physicians
• Environmental health officers
• NGO personnel
• Childcare industry workers
• Bachelor's degree holders who wish to pursue work in health-related fields
