Introduction
The Bachelor of Disability Management is a degree with an applied focus. It is the first and only degree of this nature and level internationally. The Bachelor of Disability Management (BDM) provides graduates with the underpinning of knowledge, skills, and competencies, on the one hand, to assist absent workers to return to work and, on the other hand, to assist employing organizations, service providers, and insurers in the public, private and not for profit sectors to introduce and operate cost-effective and responsive DM and return to work programs.
The program will be of interest to working adults who seek a credential related to their current field of activity – most frequently health, human resources, occupational health and safety, insurance, union representation, or government services, and to students graduating from high school who wish to pursue a career in workplace health science. In the evolving field of disability management, the degree has been designed to give students the necessary technical skills and to empower them as leaders in reshaping the approach and systems involving workers with disabilities.
