The Victorian Government will fund nursing and midwifery UG study for 10 000 students, plus scholarships up to $16 500

Premier Daniel Andrews announced the policy Sunday. There are also $10 000 – $12 0000 scholarships for nurses to upskill. Presumably there will also be funding for enough student placements.

The programme appears to build on a May announcement, where the state government committed to provide $25 000 to diploma qualified childcare teachers doing a degree in field at Victoria U, (CMM May 18).
