We’re backing the future of health
We’re on a mission to connect every corner of Australia with exceptional healthcare professionals – because where you live shouldn’t determine the quality of care you receive.
Building stronger rural and remote communities starts with supporting students who are ready to make a difference. Clinical placements are essential in shaping confident, capable nurses and midwives, but they often come with significant financial pressure.
That’s why we’ve partnered with Charles Darwin University, Charles Sturt University and James Cook University to offer nine Affinity Nursing and Midwifery Scholarships.
You deserve a career with options
No matter what stage you’re at, we’re here to support you.
