The Department of Health & Aged Care makes funding available through the Specialist Training Program (STP) for Support Projects.

There is now an opportunity to apply for Commonwealth funding for Specialist Training Program (STP) support projects through the Royal Australian College of Physicians (RACP). Final review and approval is made by the Department of Health and Aged Care.

The College seeks your assistance to notify your Haematology Society of Australia & New Zealand colleagues about this funding opportunity.

 New 2024-2025 STP support projects applications are now open

The RACP is accepting new applications for upcoming support projects that provide support for, and clearly benefit, existing STP trainees in settings outside traditional metropolitan teaching hospitals, including regional, rural, remote and private facilities.

 Cultural safety training

Projects that provide cultural safety training in Indigenous healthcare settings will also be considered, and these can be whole of college activities aimed at cultural and/or behavioural change.

 The Department will only approve STP support projects that are clearly and specifically supporting trainees in existing STP posts. While Support Project resources developed may also be relevant to the College’s broader training requirements, it is important to differentiate between projects that benefit all trainees and those aimed at trainees in STP posts as part of your application.

 Please refer to the STP page of the RACP website for details on how to apply, key dates and what are the priority projects the Department is looking to support over the next 24 months.

 Applications must be received on or before Monday, 11 March 2024.
