Bachelor of Community Health |
Community health is a field of public health that focuses on studying, protecting, and improving the health and wellbeing within a community. A community is a group of people who share a geographical location, social interests, settings, and/or interests. Community health workers have a deep understanding of the unique characteristics and needs of the communities they work in. They often work directly with community organisations and individuals. |

Bachelor of Public Health |
Public health is distinguished from other roles within the health system by its focus on the health and wellbeing of populations, rather than individuals. Public health practitioners generally work in policy development and manage high-level projects, programs and services that address health and wellbeing challenges in a community. |
