Learn how to empower individuals, and entire communities, through the implementation of health advocacy and community consultation programs with these Community Development Courses. Students of Community Development Courses will look at the theory behind: networks within a community, the skills of people, social justice, community resources, social action groups, advocacy services, community priorities and the quality of life. A growing industry, community development is utilised throughout government departments – from health, disability and ageing, through to housing and multicultural – as well as many not-for-profit and volunteer organisations.

Respond to some of society’s biggest challenges and play a leading role in engaging people by studying a community development course.

A dynamic field used within a range of different industries, community development is a broad term that refers to a process that engages community members to solve their own problems and tackle community issues. Done well, community development promotes justice and equality, and creates space for communities and individuals to empower themselves to lead fulfilling, engaged lives.

Recognising the relationship between social, cultural, environmental and economic issues, community development is a holistic and collaborative process that builds the capacity of communities to manage conflict and disadvantage. In communities experiencing poverty, injustice and inequality, community development workers can provide support to ensure problems are addressed in a long-term, sustainable way.

You can complete a community development course as a diploma course, bachelor’s degree, master’s degree or post-graduate certificate. You may also choose to undertake research into community development by studying the field in a doctorate of philosophy.

After completing a community development course, you may seek employment in a range of roles working both in Australia and overseas. You may choose to work as a social worker, a program manager, in a non-government organisation or as a consultant to a development program.

If you care deeply about the potential of all people and want to use your skills to fight disadvantage, a career in community development may be for you.
