The People Project offers a range of programs designed to support primary health professionals at every stage of their career. Whether you’re starting out, relocating, or planning your long-term career in Tasmania, our programs provide the guidance and resources you need to succeed.
Our programs cover job placement for permanent and locum positions, access to training and professional development, and scholarships through the Health Workforce Scholarship Program. We aim to make your career journey as smooth and rewarding as possible.
We also provide support for relocating and settling in Tasmania, including family assistance, housing advice, and connections to local communities. Our goal is to help you feel confident, connected, and supported both at work and at home.
Scholarships
Through our scholarship programs, we provide financial assistance to help primary health professionals access training, education, and professional development opportunities.
Our scholarships are available to new graduates commencing their primary health career through to seasoned professionals seeking to further upskill or expand their scope of practice. They are designed to remove financial barriers, encourage ongoing learning, and ensure that doctors, nurses, midwives, and allied health professionals can continue to deliver quality care in their communities.
