Applications for the Pathways to Practice scholarship are now open. The scholarship is designed for the specific purpose of supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tertiary students to attend professional health conferences. This scholarship offers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health students a unique opportunity to:

• Build professional networks with health sector leaders, researchers, and practitioners who can provide mentorship and career guidance.
• Access cutting-edge knowledge in evidence-based practices, innovations, and emerging trends directly relevant to Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander health.
• Gain competitive advantage through exposure to latest developments in Aboriginal health, chronic disease management, and primary care that will enhance their career prospects.
• Connect with potential employers and learn about career pathways from professionals already working in the sector.
• Develop as a sector leader by bringing valuable knowledge back to Community and contributing to the broader sector’s capacity.
• Receive financial support covering conference registration, travel, accommodation, and meals—removing barriers that often prevent students from accessing these career-defining opportunities.
• Eligible students must be currently enrolled in health or health-related programs.
