The Institute of Health and Management (IHM) is accredited in Australia by the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA).

IHM understands that its students come from diverse backgrounds, and from many areas including Australian and overseas trained healthcare professionals, new students or students looking to continue their life-long learning goals or re-entering the healthcare sector after a time away from the workforce.

Founded in February 2012, IHM’s focus is the development and delivery of quality postgraduate higher education courses for nurses. Courses are available in online and classroom based delivery modes and are created by experienced nursing academics and clinicians with extensive experience in online teaching and learning.
