Alcohol and Other Drugs and Mental Health Comorbidity Professional Development Scholarships
The National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA) is coordinating the Alcohol and Other Drugs and Mental Health Comorbidity Professional Development Scholarships program on behalf of the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing.
Scholarships Program has been developed as part of the Australian Government's National Comorbidity Initiative (NCI), with the aim to address the need for specialist training and resources to assist workers in non-government agencies that provide Alcohol and Other Drugs (AOD) and Mental Health (MH) services.
Scholarships are available for existing, not-for-profit, incorporated, non-government
owned organisations and/or their staff whose role substantially involves providing
services to clients with AOD or MH related issues.
The professional development activity for which funding is sought must be directly
relevant to:
- alcohol and other drugs (where the applicant provides mainly MH related services); or
- mental health (where the applicant provides mainly AOD related services); or
- AOD / MH comorbidities.
Applications for the second scholarship round open on 5 February 2008, and will close on 3 March 2008.
