About this opportunity
The Faculty of Health at Southern Cross University aims to support two enthusiastic Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Bachelor of Midwifery graduates for an honours program exploring Birthing on Country (BoC) or confidence in providing smoking cessation information for Indigenous women in rural/remote settings or another topic related to the SISTABIRTH project. The degree will align with the Birthing on Country/SISABIRTH grant received from the Department of Health and Aged Care. The positions will be based in either of Southern Cross University's Gold Coast or Coffs Harbour campuses. This scholarship is specifically open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students only and provides approximately $10,000 in support for one year of full-time study at the honours level.
