EMRPCC EDUCATION BURSARIES

The Eastern Metropolitan Region Palliative Care Consortium (EMRPCC) is pleased to offer an Education Bursary program for non-specialist palliative care health workers to attend a Palliative Care Course or Study Day.

Many people require a palliative approach to their care without necessarily needing to be referred to a specialist palliative service. This Education Bursary program has been established to encourage non-specialist palliative care health workers to increase their palliative care knowledge and skills to further their career and to build capacity in their workplace.

Eligibility to apply:  Any health worker employed by a health, disability or aged care service provider in the Eastern Metropolitan Region. This includes personal care workers.

Eligible Course/Study Day: A palliative care course or study day held prior to 31 May 2023. Please contact the EMRPCC Consortium Manager (details below) to discuss if unsure of your eligibility or the suitability of either a course or study day.

Bursaries: There are 50 bursaries available each valued at up to $1,500. Applications can be for funds to cover the whole course cost (under $1,500) or as a contribution toward course costs (greater than $1,500).

How to Apply: See Instructions for Applicants below

Further Information: Contact Sarah Kleinitz, Consortium Manager for a confidential discussion at consortiummanager@epc.asn.au or on 0413 264214.
