About the Tertiary Health Study Subsidies

The Tertiary Health Study Subsidy Program will support 12,000 students from 2024 for five years. The subsidies incentivise students to enter the NSW Health workforce by reducing financial barriers to study.

The payments can assist you with fees, technology, travel, or other associated personal costs.

What subsidies are available?

NSW Health offers two subsidies:

  1. $12,000 subsidy paid over three years to students commencing study, and intending to work for NSW Health upon completion.
  2. $8,000 one-off subsidy paid to students graduating study with employment in NSW Health.

Who is eligible?

The Tertiary Health Study Subsidy Program is open to students who:

  • are Australian citizens, or Australian permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens, and
  • are studying an eligible tertiary health qualification at a recognised educational institution, and
  • are intending to commit to working for NSW Health.


Don’t miss out on your chance to secure up to $12,000 to support your health studies.

Applications for the Tertiary Health Study Subsidies will open 15 January 2024.
