Apply now for a Nursing Scholarship

Published on 06 July 2022

Applications are now open for Moira Shire Council's 2023 Post Graduate Scholarship Program.

This post graduate study will lead to the qualification of a Maternal and Child Health Nurse. 

This scholarship is available to registered midwives who undertake a Post Graduate Diploma of Nursing Science in Child Family and Community (or equivalent) at an accredited tertiary institution. 

"Maternal and Child Health (MCH) nurses play a vital role in our community," Mayor Libro Mustica said. 

"In particular, the team of MCH nurses at Council are highly professional health practitioners who give information, support and advice on a variety of topics including parenting, development and learning, child health, family health and wellbeing, safety, immunisation, breastfeeding, nutrition and family planning."

Selection for the program will be based on the following criteria - Australia citizenship or permanent residency status; a resident of Moira Shire or surrounding municipality; currently registered as a registered nurse and midwife with the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia; enrolment in tertiary courses; and the intention to complete the course within two years.  

"Council has been offering this scholarship for more than four years now, and each scholarship recipient has stayed and worked locally after completing their studies which is a wonderful result," he said.
