The scholarship provides a stipend allowance of $50,000 for up to three and a half years, subject to satisfactory academic performance, with a possible extension of six months based on academic performance and availability of funds. Preference is given to applicants whose research focuses on Indigenous health and/or rural health, particularly those undertaking clinical work and research at Lismore Base Hospital and/or the University Centre for Rural Health. The successful applicant will be selected based on academic merit, research summary, and curriculum vitae.
