11288NAT Diploma of Healthcare Documentation
Australia’s premier medical transcription course.
Medical transcription is primarily an online occupation, giving you a real opportunity to have a professional career from the comfort of your own home. A Medical Transcriptionist is responsible for the conversion of doctor-patient interactions into written documents that form part of the patient’s medical record. With most healthcare providers now outsourcing these services, there’s never been a higher demand for well-trained medical transcription professionals.

Minimum academic entry requirements
To be assessed as academically suited for this course, you must provide either:
- a copy of your Australian Senior Secondary Certificate of Education (year 12 Certificate), or
- a copy of your International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), or
- evidence of successful completion of an Australian Qualification Framework (AQF) Certificate IV or higher qualification (where the language of instruction is English).
If you are unable to provide one of the above documents, we will send you login details to complete a quick Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) pre-assessment to confirm your suitability for the course. Students must demonstrate Exit Level 3 (or higher) competency in both reading and numeracy.
Minimum online learning competency
This clinical coding course is delivered online. As such, entry to the course requires you to be proficient with operating a personal computer. You will be specifically asked about your online learning competency as part of your pre-training review to evaluate your suitability for the course.
Minimum age
Minimum age of 18 years.
English language requirements
This course requires applicants to read, write and understand the English language. As such, entry to the course requires English proficiency at a year 12 level or equivalency such as an NRT qualification at the Certificate IV level or higher, or two years industry experience in a role that requires the use of both written and verbal communication. Alternatively, applicants can undertake an appropriate Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LLN) assessment tool to determine course suitability prior to enrolment.
Alignment with personal and/or professional needs
Applicants must also be able to demonstrate that their course of interest aligns to their personal or professional needs.
Government funding
Applicants seeking enrolment under any Government funding contract will be assessed against the requirements set out in the relevant funding contract and guidelines to ensure they are eligible for the enrolment under the Government funding.
Students with disabilities
Clinical coding often provides a unique and fulfilling career for individuals with disabilities. Please contact us on 03 9937 1599 to find out more about ways that we can assist you.
As per normal VET assessment procedures, especially with regard to pre-training assessments, the assessment should only be initially administered once. In order for the learner and TalentMed to implement any targeted LLN support and to have sufficient time for the learner to improve their LLN skills to the required level, a minimum period of no less than three months is required between undertaking further assessments using the approved tool. It may take longer than this, but at least three months should provide enough time for progress to be made and improvement to be able to be demonstrated.
TalentMed believes that this is not about ‘passing the test’, as can be the practice in some situations, and re-sitting the test a number of times until the learner eventually passes. This is not the purpose of undertaking this assessment for course suitability purposes. The purpose of the LLN test is to assess whether the learner has sufficient skills to potentially succeed in undertaking a Diploma level qualification or higher. Allowing learners to keep re-sitting until they pass would not be a fair or valid process. It is TalentMed’s goal to provide targeted LLN support and to allow the learner to have sufficient time to improve their LLN skills to the required level.
At the end of the day, this requirement is aimed at protecting your learning needs and ensuring the course is suitable for your success.

Cat van der woude –
I have just graduated from the diploma of healthcare documentation. The support was wonderful from the start. The live chat, access to tutors via email and student forum made the process such a helpful and positive environment. I found the course was enjoyable and challenging at the same time. I have already been offered a job through the job search assistance. I couldn’t recommend TalentMed highly enough. I look forward to my career change from nurse to transcriptionist. If you’re in two minds, go for it!! The freedom to work from home is a great feeling.
Belinda W –
I really enjoyed the Diploma of Healthcare Documentation course and what I learn is not just theory (i.e. medical terms) but also practical transcription. Although it is 100% online course, I was able to get help and feedback from the trainer and TalentMed team quickly. Another plus point was the graduate support after I have finished the course which has helped me a lot in finding a job.
Anna Giannarelli –
Excellent. A very well presented course that is comprehensive and sometimes challenging, but with fantastic support from the trainers and staff. It was a joy to study this course and I learned so much. Cannot praise the trainers and staff highly enough. Thank you :)
