Tender ID: 573403
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Postgraduate Psychology Incentive Program aims to support higher education providers who have created additional postgraduate psychology places in courses which lead to general registration and can lead to relevant areas of practice endorsement.
Funding under the program will be available over 4 grant rounds, with one round opening each financial year from 2023-24 to 2026-27. Eligible organisations will be required to apply for each individual round as they become available on GrantConnect.
In this grant opportunity (Round 2), funding of up to $14,525,500.00 (GST inclusive) is available in 2024-25.
The program objectives include:
• support higher education providers creating additional postgraduate places in relevant psychology courses;
• allow more students to study postgraduate psychology; and
• boost the psychology training pipeline by training more students that can go on to work in the mental health sector upon graduation.
The intended outcomes of the program are:
• to increase the availability of postgraduate places in relevant courses to support provisional psychologists to obtain general registration; and
• provide interim actions to immediately address some of the known bottlenecks in the postgraduate psychology training pathway.
We administer the program according to the Commonwealth Grant Rules and Principles (CGRPs).
