Introduction
This new course will prepare students for a career in the community service and Justice sectors, both industries evolving rapidly to meet the changing environmental, economic, social and cultural demands facing individuals, families and communities. This course is an ideal professional development program for people already employed in the human services and Justice sectors who wish to advance their careers and extend their capabilities and opportunities. The administration of justice faces greater issues than ever before.
These qualifications will provide students with a theoretical and practical basis to work as effective change agents across the broad range of community and Justice sectors and issues in both government and non government organisations. Students will develop an understanding of the justice system, its structure, concepts and underlying principles, and be introduced to the issues that arise in developing, managing, and administering policy in justice environments and equip them with the tools to undertake those tasks successfully.
The course covers areas such as human learning and development, adult and community education, ethics, change theory, social research, judicial administration, sociology, psychology, criminal law, human rights, management, communications, human resources, government studies, a year long applied field project and two specialisations in counselling studies and community development.
