The Graduate Diploma in Remote Health Management is a 36-unit program offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences. The program is normally undertaken in two semesters full-time or four semesters part-time.
The course articulates with the Graduate Certificate in Remote Health Management and the Master of Remote Health Management, and the sequentially developed topics allow progression through the three awards.
Students who have completed the graduate certificate are normally awarded credit for 18 units of topics towards the graduate diploma.

However, the Faculty Board may, under certain circumstances and subject to specific conditions, admit others who can show evidence of fitness for candidature.
