RMIT's graduate diploma in occupational health and safety (OHS) program takes an applied, project-based approach to ensure students learn critical skills. The core courses cover key OHS topics, while the capstone requires students to complete an intervention project in their field of choice. These projects allow students to apply their learning, with examples including developing induction training and addressing mental health in the workplace. Feedback indicates projects are successful when stakeholders are engaged, scope is appropriately defined, and organizational needs are met. Both students and educators emphasize the importance of flexibility and strong stakeholder communication throughout the process.
