A financial boost is available to eligible midwifery, nursing, medical, paramedical or allied health students and graduates committed to working with NSW Health. 

The Tertiary Health Study Subsidy is open to 8,000 students and graduates over 2025 and 2026 that are passionate about working in our world class health system. Subsidies have been granted to 4000 students and graduates since the start of the program. Students starting study in 2025-26, in an eligible health qualification could be eligible for up to $12,000 paid over three years. If graduating and starting work with NSW Health, graduates can receive a one-off $8,000 payment. 

Aimee Long, first-year medical student and recipient of NSW Health’s Tertiary Health Study Subsidy explains, “This subsidy allows me to access the brilliant, but costly resources needed for my studies and attend outreach trips to country NSW to experience rural medicine. It will be pivotal when I reach my clinical placements and assist with the cost of living which helps me to focus on my studies.”
