Puggy Hunter Memorial Scholarship Scheme – Transition
The Puggy Hunter Memorial Scholarship Scheme (PHMSS) is currently managed by the Australian College of Nursing (ACN). ACN supports First Nations undergraduate students studying a health-related discipline at university, a higher education provider, TAFE or at a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) as an initiative to increase the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workforce across Australia.
Through the 2023-24 Budget, in line with the Priority Reforms under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, the Australian Government committed $1 million to support a First Nations led organisation to prepare to take on management of the PHMSS (both new and existing scholars) from 1 July 2024.
The $1 million funding will allow a First Nations led organisation (or consortia) to develop and implement systems and processes to ensure smooth transition of the program and scholars from the current arrangement with ACN.
This grant opportunity, giving effect to this commitment also includes ongoing funding of $4.913 million per year to enable the continuation of the Commonwealth-funded scholarship scheme for a further three years, commencing 1 July 2024.
