As a result of the growth in the Human Services sector, Torrens University Australia has launched a Bachelor of Human Services (Disability).
The Bachelor of Human Services (Disability) is designed to provide students with opportunities to develop skills and knowledge that are important in the planning, provision and evaluation of Human Services with a particular focus on disability.  Graduates of the Bachelor’s degree will be skilled advocates and collaborators, planners and evaluators, capable of responding to the diverse and complex issues that arise in the provision of human services and relevant policies such as the NDIS.  It will provide them with a broad Human Services body of knowledge to enable them to undertake professional work in the Disability sector. They will also be cognisant of the business drivers that underpin Human Service organisations and will be equipped with the resourcefulness to address business imperatives at the same time as they are required to display the sensitivity required to respond ethically and equitably within a sustainable and socially just framework.
Subject areas include: interpersonal communication, human development across the lifespan, health and wellbeing, understanding human services policy, doing business in the disability sector, understanding social theories, governance, planning and evaluations, and determinants of health and wellbeing for people with disabilities.
