Health Academy Australia Questions & Answers
VerifiedAre the courses available for Nutrition equivalent to a degree?
Hi Kiruthika, Our Nutrition certificates and advanced certificates are equivalent to a certificate 3 or 4 not a degree. These courses are only 300 hour or 600 hour courses. Hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to email us at admin@healthcourses.com.au. Thanks
Hi I'm considering options regarding Diploma Counselling. Can anyone who has completed the Health Academy Australia Counselling Diploma give feedback on if they are actually able to work in the industry and register with credible governing bodies or Industry associations /organisations? Has anyone been able to set up a private practice and gain insurances etc? I've reviewed several training providers and it's hard to sift out the marketing BS from reality. Most seem to be mainly marketing BS. I welcome feedback from anyone who has completed the Diploma Counselling and actually works as a Counsellor or even as a caseworker. or has struggeled to find work after completing the Diploma.
Hi, I can’t decide between the Advanced Certificate of Naturopathy or Foundational Diploma of Natural Health. I’m already a registered nurse but want to move across to become either a Natural Health Consultant , Natural Therapist or Health Coach… it will come down to which course offers insurance as I want to start my own business. Can you please guide me? Thanks, Danica
Hi Danica The advanced certificate in Naturopathy allows you to work under the title of Natural Health Consultant or Naturopathic Counsellor for insurance purposes and The Foundation Diploma in Natural Health allows you to work under the title of Nutritional Therapist/Natural therapist for insurance purposes. The main difference between the study is that with the foundation diploma you will be also studying biochemistry in depth and basic human biology too, if you are considering a pathway into a Bachelors in health sciences then the foundation diploma is recommended, however as you are a registered nurse the Advanced certificate in Naturopathy will be adequate for you. You can enrol in the advanced certificate and always upgrade later on to the foundation diploma if you feel you would like to. Hope this helps. Please do email us on admin@healthcourses.com.au if you have any further questions or require more information. Thank you.
Thankyou so much for the reply. I’ve been in touch today and have chosen to study the Advanced Certificate in Naturopathy. Very excited to start :)
Hi Danica Thanks for letting us know, we look forward to having you as a student with us!
Hi, I was wondering who you can get insurance with once you’ve completed the advanced certificate in nutritional counselling. Cheers, Carol
Hi Carol Thank you for asking this question. Yes you are able to get insurance which covers to work as a Nutritional Counsellor or a Dietary Consultant. We can also refer you to the insurance company who insures our students. Hope this answers your question.
When completing an advanced certificate in nutritional counseling, where do you go to work?
Hi Sabreen Successful completion of the course will enable you to work as an insured: • Nutritional Counsellor • Dietary Consultant (Nutritional Counselling) You can either set up your own Nutritional consultancy service or work for a health/fitness-related business who are looking for these services.
Hey there! I'm thinking about studying natural health, but already study at uni full time and work 4 days a week, just wondering how big the assessments are, thank you so much!
Hi Claudia, in my case each lesson took about 4-10 hours to study and do assignments. I recommend requesting a sample lesson. Their materials are just plain text in PDF - you might find it a bit boring to go through, so it's worth to see it first. On the positive side, there is no rush to do assignments.
Hi Claudia, Thanks for your question. The assessments will take a maximum of 10 hours, however the course is self-paced and you are able to submit these whenever you wish. The Certificate in Naturopathy for example to complete it within the duration will require 3 hours of work per week. We do have a range of alternate courses thgat you may also be interested in. Please send us an email at admin@healthcourses.com.au for more information on our courses. Thanks, Health Academy Australia
Hi. Is the Diploma of Counseling accredited?
Hi There, we are sorry we missed your question here, Yes, The Diploma of Counselling is a Nationally recognised qualification, accredited by the Australian government, It is exactly the same qualification you will receive from any Registered training organisation all over Australia. On completion you will be able to work as a registered counsellor and get insurance to practice as a counsellor. If you have any further questions please feel free to email us on admin@healthcourses.com.au. Thank you.
I would like to ask if this course gives accredited qualification after the completion?
Can I suggest that you view the Academy's web site or give them a call so that they may offer you the correct answer you are looking for.
Hi Alice It depends which course you are looking, we offer both Nationally recognised courses as well as non accredited industry recognised courses. Please email us at admin@healthcourses.com.au so we can help you further. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm interested to study the Sports Nutrition course online, and would like to know what support I would get? Do I have to pay for online tutoring, and what pace can I go to finish assessments? Also, is this a Nationally Accredited certificate?
Thankyou
Hi Francis O Thank you for your question. The Sports Nutrition course is fully tutor supported. The course fees pays for everything, assessments, tutor support and all materials. You will have one year to complete the course and the course is self paced, which means you can do the course at your own pace and spread the work anyway you wish within the year. The course also has a fabulous xmas special of $75 OFF at the moment till December 25th. The course is a short course is not nationally accredited. It however has excellent pathways into higher courses and a bachelors degree. Please feel free to email us on admin@healthcourses.com.au so we can send you a detailed course outline.
