The Tertiary Health Study Subsidy Program provides subsidies to students studying a health qualification and incentivises them to enter the NSW Health workforce.

The payments can assist students with fees, technology, travel, or other associated personal costs.

NSW Health offers two subsidies:

1. $12,000 subsidy paid over three years to students commencing study in 2024, 2025 and 2026, and intending to work for NSW Health upon completion.
2. $8,000 subsidy paid one-off to students graduating study with employment in NSW Health in a profession resulting from their study in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Each subsidy will see 2,000 students awarded annually for the next three years.
