2026 Scholarship Opportunity – Calling All Healthcare Professionals!
As part of our commitment to supporting healthcare professionals treating injured workers in Western Australia, WorkCover WA will once again sponsor scholarships for three (3) WA healthcare professionals to complete the ten-week post-graduate course Compensable Health and Medicine in 2026.
The course developed by Monash University in partnership with the Personal Injury Education Foundation, presents a unique opportunity to learn about contemporary clinical and administrative challenges, whilst improving the quality of care for compensable patients.
The course consists of seven (7) weeks of self-paced online learning, and a two (2) day hybrid residential intensive session hosted either online, or in-person at the Monash School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in Melbourne.
- Please note: The scholarship includes online learning fees only. Students who wish to complete the residential intensive in-person at Monash in Melbourne, would need to do so at their own expense.
The course is suitable for general practitioners, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals.
