About This Opportunity
As part of the Making it free to study nursing and midwifery initiative, the Department of Health is offering scholarships for up to 25 registered nurses and midwives each year, for 4 years from 2022-23, to return to practice via the re-entry pathway. The re-entry to practice pathway supports those who have previously held registration as a registered nurse or midwife in Australia, but do not meet the current requirements of the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA) to hold registration. These nurses and midwives are required to complete a NMBA approved re-entry to practice program to return to clinical practice in Australia. The funding support will contribute to course costs and associated living expenses during study, including while completing clinical placements. In 2026, 25 re-entry to nursing scholarships will be delivered by La Trobe University.
