Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry D302 WP 3.5 T1

Deakin’s Faculty of Health offers Australia’s first accelerated optometry course. You complete the five-year degree in just 3.5 years, studying three trimesters per year. Offered as a combined course, the Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry is unique in many ways. It has an emphasis on case and team-based learning; an extensive, fully equipped clinical skills facility; industry partnerships; and a curriculum that delivers excellence across clinical, commercial and professional domains in optometry.

Optometry encompasses far more than just testing eyes. It involves a complex interplay of inter-professional communication; management of self, others and potentially a business; and the applied understanding of principles of ethics, the law, public health, professional and commercial practices. Deakin’s optometry program integrates all these elements into the curriculum from year two of the degree through to graduation from the Bachelor of Vision Science/Master of Optometry. Throughout your prevocational studies you study elements from the health, medical and vision science, business and management disciplines.

Optometry Regional and Remote Entry SchemeWorkforce shortages in optometry exist in regional and remote areas of Australia. The School of Medicine at Deakin University has decided to address these shortages by introducing a Regional and Remote Entry Scheme, which aims to attract more regional and rural students into the optometry course.

The Regional and Remote Entry Scheme has a separate VTAC code and eligible applicants may receive up to 10 bonus aggregate points towards their entry score for admission.

For more information, visit deakin.edu.au/health/regional-and-remote-entry-scheme.

Professional recognitionGraduates are eligible to apply for registration with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and as Medicare Service Providers.

Work experienceClinical placements are an integral part of the program. You will undertake a variety of short-term industry placements and spend the final six months of the course as a ‘student resident’ in one of a range of clinical optometric and medical settings. These extensive rotations take place in both metropolitan and regional or rural settings, and will enable you to consolidate your knowledge and skills in supported environments under the supervision of qualified optometrists.

CareersDemand for optometrists is high, job opportunities are strong and career outcomes are excellent. Deakin optometry graduates are well prepared for employment in a diverse range of work settings including, but not limited to, hospitals, clinics, health services, state and local governments, non-government organisations, research institutes, tertiary education institutions, private practice, corporate and community settings.

Career and employment opportunities for qualified optometrists include private and public eye care, practice ownership, research and teaching, associates in eye surgery practices and recognised areas within optometry such as low vision, paediatric vision and behavioural optometry.

Work placement requirementsIn accordance with Department of Human Services policy*, all students are required to undertake a National Police Record Check prior to clinical placements in each calendar year of their course. Students who fail to obtain a Police Record Check prior to the commencement of clinical placements will not be able to undertake any placements. Students are also required to undertake a Working with Children Check at the commencement of the course, and are required to read, understand and comply with the School of Medicine Infectious Diseases and Immunisation Policy. Failure to comply with this policy, or obtain a Working with Children Check, may also prevent students from undertaking clinical placements.

Several clinical placement agencies require that students are vaccinated/blood tested before undertaking clinical placement and/or graduate employment. Deakin University Medical Centres provide detailed advice, blood testing and administer all necessary vaccinations prior to commencement of clinical placements and/or employment.

Course structure40 credit points – all core units.

‘As a resident of outback Western Australia, I have experienced first‑hand the lack of health care services available to people and communities living in remote areas and the negative implications this can have on health, physically and mentally. I chose optometry so that in the future I can give back to communities that are in need of eye care, as well as being someone who can provide broader health care, which is needed in remote communities.’

Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion D381 B 4 T1

In addition to the specialised skills and knowledge acquired through our Bachelor of Nursing degree, this combined degree also gives you specialised education in public health and health promotion. Public health is the organised response by society to protect and promote health and prevent disability.

By looking at the patterns of health and disease, public health focuses on the health of populations, rather than at the level of the individual. Health promotion is about working with people to improve their health and creating environments that support health – be they environmental, legal, physical, economic or social.

Professional recognitionThis course fulfils the registration standards for registered nurse of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA).

CareersPublic health and health promotion are growing areas of employment in Australia and around the world. Upon completion of this combined course you will be qualified to work in areas such as health education, human services and health policy development and implementation, in addition to pursuing roles as a registered nurse in a range of work areas. Your knowledge of the social and environmental factors that affect the health of individuals and populations prepares you for a career in a range of clinical and community settings, such as public health, schools, rehabilitation, health education, voluntary organisations, patient support agencies or working abroad.

Work experienceFrom Trimester 1 of your first year of study you start clinical placements, allowing you to develop clinical skills under the supervision of registered nurses and enabling you to experience working in multidisciplinary health care teams. In addition, a Public Health and Health Promotion Practicum unit provides an in-depth working understanding of public health and health promotion principles and approaches in the field.

Clinical placement requirements In accordance with Department of Human Services policy^, nursing students are required to undertake a National Police Record Check prior to work placements in each calendar year of their course. In accordance with the Working with Children Act 2005~, all students are required to undertake a Working with Children Check at the commencement of the course. You will also be required to ensure your immunisations (vaccinations) are current and provide evidence to the School of Nursing and Midwifery prior to your clinical placement.

Course structureThe Bachelor of Nursing/Bachelor of Public Health and Health Promotion consists of 28 units across four years of study. An honours year is available upon completion of this degree to eligible students.
