The Deakin Health Promotion Society (DHPS) was founded in 2014. It is a student society at Deakin University, based at the Burwood campus.
We are a professional student society ideal for any student interested in working in health promotion.
We are affiliated with the Deakin University Student Union (DUSA). The DHPS is governed by a committee of students from the Faculty of Health.
What we do
The DHPS strives to build the network of its members by connecting them with like-minded students, health academics, health professionals and volunteer coordinators in the field.
Our events are geared towards professional development to assist our members in finding a meaningful career in the health industry.
DHPS also assists students with engaging in volunteering opportunities, both individually and as a group.
The DHPS has a strong social conscience and works hard to support ethical and sustainable practice.
Whether you are taking your first steps in the health promotion industry, strengthening your current skills or have a general interest in health - the Deakin Health Promotion Society is for you!
