The Health Workforce Scholarship Program (HWSP) is designed to further develop the skills of the Northern Territory's rural and remote health workforce.

Under the program, eligible health professionals can receive up to $20,000 to put toward post-graduate study. Scholarships can be used to cover or partially cover the cost of post-graduate course fees and course-related expenses such as accommodation and transport where appropriate.

Bursaries are available year-round for other types of training and upskilling (e.g. conferences, education events or other short courses).
