Training and Development

The Training & Development Grant (T&D grant) supports the costs associated with the teaching, training and research activities undertaken by public health services. Specifically, the nursing and midwifery component of the T&D grant is to support the delivery of early graduate programs and the clinical component of specialty postgraduate courses, including midwifery.

The T & D grant (Nursing and Midwifery) incorporates:

Early Graduate Nurse & Midwifery Programs that support and nurture early nursing and midwifery graduates in the first year of employment and practice

Postgraduate Nurse Education that supports the clinical component of postgraduate education programs (where a supervised or supported clinical training component is required for program completion), and

Postgraduate Midwifery Education that includes “employment” and “clinical placement” supervision models that provide clinical experience to post graduate midwifery students.
