I write to you from Ngunnawal Country where the wattle has flowered and Canberra is collectively sneezing!
This newsletter is to provide information on currently available scholarships funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care, I strongly encourage everyone to consider taking up these opportunities. I will be sending another more comprehensive newsletter soon to provide information on a whole range of other topics – stay tuned!
Thank you
