Aboriginal Health Worker Training Scholarship

VACCHO in partnership with the Department of Health is providing scholarships to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students in their professional development.

Training scholarships valued at up to $4,000 are available to Aboriginal health workers and practitioners to support one year of professional development activity.

Training scholarships are intended to remove the financial barriers to doing professional development training. Some examples of what training scholarships can help with are:

  • course tuition costs
  • education equipment costs
  • financial support to cover travel costs
    child minding costs.
