Foundation competencies for Master of Public Health graduates in Australia.

This document describes the baseline set of competencies expected of a graduate from a Master of Public Health (MPH) program in Australia. It is offered as a guide to academic teaching programs for MPH program curriculum development. It is envisaged the document will support academic teaching programs to build their own curricula, guide participation in shared curricula where programs lack specialist capacity, enable cross-referencing in curriculum review processes, be referenced in course handbooks and assist in course planning with students.

This document has been developed by the Australian Network of Public Health Institutions (ANAPHI). Funding for the development of a national core competency framework was provided through the Public Health Education and Research Program (PHERP) administered by the Department of Health and Ageing.
