Scholarship round 9 is now open

Are you looking for an opportunity to enhance your skills and knowledge in the violence against women sector? If so, you may be interested in applying for a WorkUP Queensland scholarship. WorkUP Queensland scholarships support the professional development of workers in domestic and family violence, sexual violence and women’s health and wellbeing services funded by the Queensland Department of Justice and Attorney General (DJAG). WorkUP Queensland is proud to administer this program on behalf of DJAG.

Up to $15,000 per scholarship is available!

The current scholarship round opened on Monday 14 October 2024 and will close on Friday 15 November 2024 at 5:00pm. This is the final round for 2024. You can apply for a scholarship to cover the costs of a qualification that is relevant to your role and work within the sector. This supports any person working in a role in the services above – from business services to practitioner to leader. You will need to demonstrate how the qualification will benefit your practice, your organisation and the sector as a collective. You will need to have your application endorsed by your employer.

To find out more about eligibility, the application process and the breadth of qualifications considered, we welcome you to attend a free online lunchbox information session on Wednesday 23 October, 12:00pm – 1:00pm.
