Executive Management

On behalf of all our staff and students, I am delighted to welcome you to the Higher Education Leadership Institute (HELI). 

HELI is a dynamic Australian Institute of Higher Education offering postgraduate degrees in Melbourne as well as online. We help students every trimester transition from study to rewarding careers through our courses in eLearning and Higher Education Practice.

Our primary objective is to provide, foster and promote academic rigour and professional attributes in each individual student. We design engaging courses so our students can develop the capabilities and skills to assume positions of responsibility in both organisations and society. Our belief is that education and professional development are the keys to sustained success in the changing business and social contexts of today.

In addition, we are focused on providing students with a safe and nurturing environment that encourages creativity and growth. At HELI, we understand the transformative process students experience engaging in higher education and how that impacts their career and wider aspirations. We endeavour to provide our students with the education, advice and capabilities to flourish wherever they choose to work and live.

Thank you for choosing HELI. We look forward to welcoming you to the College.
