Creating transformational change in healthcare through medical research, medical education and health programs.

Our bursaries invest in the future of healthcare in Australia. They support people entering the medical profession or completing further education in medicine, with a focus on bringing equity to education in medicine.

Through our bursaries we aim to support those overcoming disadvantage in the pursuit of their medical or healthcare studies. We do this through multi-year partnerships with charities, universities and colleges to provide bursaries on an ongoing basis to support the full period of study for eligible students.

Our bursaries are administered through our education partners.
