• provision of financial support to assist currently registered midwives to advance their professional development in midwifery through attendance at a conference, seminar or workshop related to the improvement of maternal and infant health care - 5 scholarships valued at $500 each will be awarded in 2014
• provision of financial support to assist undergraduate third year (or post graduate equivalent) midwifery students with their payment of their higher education contribution scheme (HECS) financial liability - scholarships to be awarded in 2014.
