Grant Description
This Victorian Government program provides grants of up to $15,000 to final-year and recently completed students in speech pathology and occupational therapy to incentivise them to live and practise in regional and rural Victoria (including eligible Victorian cross-border communities). The initiative aims to grow the allied health workforce outside metropolitan areas, support graduates to move, settle and integrate in local communities, and improve access to speech pathology and occupational therapy services for people living in regional and rural locations. A total of up to 436 grants are available across 2024–2026, paid in two instalments upon course completion and verified regional employment.
