Graduate Certificate in Management of Organisational Change

Fees apply


The Graduate Certificate is aimed at all managers and consultants working in private and public sector organisations.

Because of the increasing pace of economic and social change in Australia and overseas, managers are now more than ever required to become skilled at planning, implementing and managing small and large scale changes within their areas of responsibility. The Graduate Certificate is designed to provide prospective and present managers with a foundation of theoretical and practical knowledge and a set of skills that they can draw upon in their role as agents for change. Objectives of the course include: increasing the knowledge prospective and present managers have about the management of change in organisational contexts; developing their knowledge of and ability to use organisational development techniques as well as political and symbolic and cultural processes; enabling managers to understand the nature and impact of economic and social changes and developing their awareness of ethical issues in the management of change in organisations.
