Who can apply?
Scholarships are available to workforce of organisations funded by the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney General to deliver domestic and family violence, sexual violence, and women’s health and wellbeing services.
What study is eligible?
Applicants must demonstrate the impact the qualification will add to their role and work within the sector, how they will share their knowledge with colleagues, and the application must be endorsed by their employer.

Scholarships to the value of $15,000 can be granted towards fees for accredited training and higher education for workers of any level across organisations.

We encourage you to check your eligibility, speak with your employer, and read through the guidelines before you apply.
