The Rural Practice Management Scholarship aims to support staff employed in rural general practices to gain a nationally recognised qualification in order to enhance the delivery of health services across rural Western Australia.

The scholarship is supported by Rural Health West and the Australian Medical Association (WA).
The scholarships will enable rural practice staff to undertake a HLT57715 Diploma in Practice Management via the Australian Medical Association’s Assisted Study Program at a significantly subsidised price of $1400 per scholar (usual cost $6400).
Two scholarships for rural Western Australia will be available per financial year for three years, with the first two scholarships commencing in July 2019.
