During the Certificate III in Health Administration you will develop the skills to understand medical terminology. The elective units include processing medical accounts, maintaining patient records and retrieving information from patient records.

You might be eligible for funding through the Certificate III Guarantee Program. It may also be possible to get an entry level job as an administration officer or medical receptionist without completing this qualification, so check what options are available in your local area.

Visit www.skillsgateway.training.qld.gov.au and talk to your teachers, VET coordinator, guidance officer and career advisor for more information on what’s available at your school because you might be able to do this course during Year 11 and 12.

Year 12 graduate Queenslanders commencing an apprenticeship, traineeship or training in the field with an approved training provider may be eligible for free studies under the Queensland Government’s ‘free tafe’ scheme. Click here to learn more.
