The Australasian College of Health and Wellness offers accredited higher education and practical skills training in the fields of applied health science, dermal therapy, and clinical aesthetics.
Our portfolio of courses covers a diverse range of complexity and length, from multi-year degree programs to single-day workshops.
At the Australasian College of Health and Wellness, every qualification is designed to meet the growing demand for highly trained professionals in the skincare industry.
ACHW’s Degree Programs are the most advanced Higher Education qualifications available in Australia for dermal therapy and clinical aesthetics.
These applied health science courses equip graduates with advanced knowledge and clinical capability, preparing them for roles in both established and emerging areas of aesthetics.
This pathway is available through the Bachelor of Applied Health Science (Clinical Aesthetics), the highest-level undergraduate program in this field.
Undergraduate Certificates are accredited qualifications that are ideal for industry newcomers seeking skills and recognition.
They provide a pathway into dermal courses and skin courses that help students gain confidence, build core competencies, and progress toward higher qualifications such as the Associate Degree in Applied Health Science (Dermal Therapy).
ACHW Short Courses take our experience and expertise in higher education and distil this into efficient, relevant, and practical workshop training programs.
These short skin courses focus on practical treatments, making them suitable for both upskilling professionals and those entering the aesthetics field.
Professional Certificates are unaccredited courses built from units of study of our Bachelor of Applied Health Science (Clinical Aesthetics).
They act as targeted applied health science courses for individuals who want to strengthen specific areas of clinical knowledge without committing to a full degree.
As a student, you gain more than just technical expertise — you graduate with clinical confidence, academic knowledge, and an understanding of how the industry continues to evolve.
By offering a choice between multi-year degrees, six-month certificates, and focused workshops, ACHW provides education pathways that support all learners from career changers and school leavers to practitioners already working in the field.
The availability of skin courses and dermal courses within a higher education framework ensures that graduates are recognised not just for their practical abilities but for their academic achievement as well.
Employers in clinics, medical practices, and medi-spas increasingly value qualifications that combine evidence-based training with hands-on experience. ACHW addresses this need by aligning every program with industry expectations while providing access to clinic-based intensives in Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast.
Our applied health science courses are built to bridge the gap between science and practice. Students explore anatomy, skin physiology, and advanced treatment modalities before applying this knowledge in clinical environments.
Through their studies, students are introduced to a wide range of treatments and modalities that define modern clinical aesthetics. These include advanced skin treatments, rejuvenation procedures, laser therapies, and non-surgical interventions that are supported by scientific research.
With guidance from expert educators, including Australia’s only Professor of Aesthetic Sciences, ACHW students develop the skills to stand out in a competitive sector and build long-term careers.
The strength of ACHW programs lies in their balance of academic rigour and industry relevance. We review every unit to ensure it reflects both current scientific knowledge and the evolving needs of clinical practice.
By embedding innovation in the curriculum, ACHW empowers graduates to anticipate changes in the market and adapt their skills accordingly.
Whether someone is pursuing a full degree, advancing through dermal courses, or joining skincare short courses, our students benefit from support services that encourage persistence and achievement.
In every pathway, ACHW reinforces its commitment to meaningful, empowering, and academically grounded education.
