At Oxford University Press we create health and human development textbooks that provide students with the practical skills needed for their career. These textbooks cover a broad range of subjects across social work and human development, public health and allied health, and include popular textbooks such as Healthy Ageing and Aged Care and Understanding Health.

  • Practical textbooks designed to create confident health care practitioners

    Our health and human development textbooks focus on delivering real-world case studies and practical examples to provide context to how each theory is relevant in practice. We create content that is designed to teach the practical skills and critical thinking to help students become confident practitioners across the Australian health care system.

  • Available in a range of formats at affordable prices

    We publish relevant and affordable academic resources to prepare students for professional practice in their chosen health profession. Each title published since 2017 is available in paperback, eBook and eBook-rental format, providing your students with content flexibility and affordable options.

  • Our health sciences textbooks prepare students to be career ready across multiple disciplines

    We recognise the interprofessional nature of health care delivery, which is why we create health textbooks across a range of disciplines. Our authors and contributors are experts in their field and provide a range of insights for undergraduates and postgraduates to use throughout their degree and as they move into professional practice.
Cover of an Oxford publication titled “The Australian student voice on the soft skills needed for the future”. The subtitle reads “And how universities can integrate these skills into their teaching”. The design features a teal overlay on an image of people sitting at a table with notebooks and papers, suggesting a collaborative learning environment. A small label at the bottom right indicates November 2020.
