Tinodiwanashe Chisvo
Bachelor of Health Sciences (Disability and Inclusion major)
⸻
I realised that there is a lot to still be done in the diversity sector in my home country in reference to accessibility of resources. This degree was a way to understand inclusive practices and how they affect the health sector.
Ebe Ganon
Master of Disability and Inclusion
⸻
What Deakin is offering in the Disability and Inclusion program is really unique across the sector. I wanted to enrol in a program that centres and respects lived experience of people with disability and considers intersectionality as a core tenet of disability inclusion.
Stephen Odeyemi
Master of Public Health

I chose public health because it broadly incorporates various specialties such as public health, health promotion and health economics. This widens my employability options.
