About This Opportunity
This opportunity assists Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Midwifery students at Southern Cross University (SCU) to be involved in the Birthing on Country project sponsored by iSISTAQUIT. Recipients receive a competitive bursary of $2500 per annum to attend a placement in an Aboriginal Health Service and to experience community-based healthcare. The placement requires students to work with community members to develop cultural resources relating to pregnancy, labour and birth, and early parenting (6 weeks postnatal). Scholarship recipients must commit to presenting to peers and/or academics about their experience on placement and their main learning and knowledge takeaways. This scholarship provides financial support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander midwifery students to gain valuable experience in culturally appropriate care through the Birthing on Country project.
