Placement Allowance for Pharmacy Students

In Australia pharmacy students are required to undertake placements in community and/or hospital pharmacy practice as part of their  course. At present, most pharmacy students undertake this placement in metropolitan areas, largely because of the financial burden imposed through costs incurred through travel and accommodation in regional areas.

 

The Placement Allowance Scheme provides financial support to encourage and enable pharmacy  programs at Australian Universities to deliver student placements in rural and remote communities. The Allowance provides assistance with the travel and accommodation costs associated with undertaking a placement in a rural or remote area.

 

Interested students should contact their Pharmacy School for an application form and further information.
