The Victorian Government is offering scholarships for mental health workers employed in Victorian public mental health and wellbeing, or alcohol and other drug services.
The Mental Health and Wellbeing Workforce Scholarship program offers development opportunities for:
- mental health nurses
- allied health professionals (including social workers, occupation therapists, psychologists and other allied health disciplines)
- alcohol and other drug (AOD) practitioners
- lived and living experience workers.
These scholarships help support workforce retention and contribute to building mental health and AOD workforces that deliver high quality treatment, care and support for consumers and their families, carers and supporters.
The scholarships also support continued learning and development to help build skills, knowledge, capabilities and career satisfaction.
Applications for Semester 1, 2024 are open.
