• Be eligible for entry into a bachelor’s or master’s program at an Australian university and either be enrolled or intend to commence a healthcare bachelor’s or master’s degree by 30 April 2027. If you have not yet passed your first census date and you have been determined as the recipient, the funds will be released once this has been confirmed;
• Be of Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, identify as Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander and be accepted as such by the community in which you live or have lived; and

General terms:

Selection panel

A panel of GHE representatives will select the application that, in the opinion of the panel, best satisfies the scholarship selection criteria, including but not limited to the application that demonstrates academic achievement, financial disadvantage and potential for far-reaching positive impact on the community.

The decision of the GHE panel is final and binding. No correspondence or appeal will be entered into. GHE reserves the right to reject any application that is incomplete or does not comply with these Terms without further notice to the applicant.

Successful applicant

The GHE panel will validate the successful applicant’s information to ensure compliance with these Terms, including the eligibility requirements. If the successful applicant cannot be contacted, does not formally accept the scholarship or does not successfully complete the verification within 21 days (including if the applicant has not enrolled or has otherwise deferred their study), that applicant will forfeit the scholarship and another applicant may be substituted by the panel, based on the selection criteria.

Privacy

As a means of ensuring the appropriate handling of personally identifiable information, GHE will not contact applicants unless they have applied to GHE through the https://globalhealtheducation.com/au site and consented to receive information from GHE. All personal data collected by GHE in relation to the scholarship will be handled in accordance with the Terms of GHE's privacy policy. Any questions relating to GHE’s collection, use and disclosure of personal data, should be directed to cst@keypathedu.com.

Conduct

Applicants must not make any misleading representations about GHE or the scholarship, or use any intellectual property of GHE, other than the successful scholarship recipient who may identify themselves as a current or former GHE scholarship recipient, with the prior written approval of GHE.

The Scholarship recipient must not grant any interviews, or discuss with any member of the press or other media, their receipt of the scholarship, without first notifying and obtaining the prior written consent of GHE.

Warranty

By submitting an application, each applicant warrants that:

• the information provided in the application is true, complete and not misleading;
• the applicant consents to the use and disclosure by GHE of their name, job title and photograph, if the applicant is selected to receive the Scholarship;
• the applicant agrees to provide GHE with quotes regarding their selection as the successful applicant for use on the GHE website and other publications;
• all content or material submitted by the applicant through their application to GHE is the applicant’s own original work;
• no content or material submitted by the applicant to GHE infringes on the rights of a third party, including intellectual property rights;
• each individual who features in any content or material submitted by an applicant to GHE has given consent for their image to be used in connection with the scholarship and in accordance with these Terms. Where any content or material submitted by an applicant to GHE features an individual who is aged less than 18 years, the applicant warrants that it has the consent of the parent or guardian of that individual.

Scholarship termination

GHE reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to withdraw the scholarship offer from the selected Scholarship recipient and substitute another applicant, if in the opinion of GHE the selected scholarship recipient:

• is determined by GHE to have breached these Terms, including but not limited to providing false or misleading information in their Scholarship application;
• damages, tampers with or corrupts the operation or administration of the scholarship;
• withdraws from an eligible course prior to the census date, or fails to enrol; or
• engages in activity deemed in the sole discretion of GHE to be inconsistent with the intended operation of the scholarship.

Entire agreement

These Terms and the documents referred to in these Terms constitute the entire agreement between applicants and GHE concerning the Scholarship. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and any advertising, publicity and other materials relating to or in connection with the scholarship, these Terms will prevail. The failure of GHE to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

Right to alter or terminate scholarship

GHE reserves the right to alter these Terms at any time, without notice. GHE may also change, cancel, suspend or modify any aspect of the Scholarship without notice, due to events beyond its reasonable control.

Taxation

The scholarship recipient acknowledges that the payment of the scholarship may be deemed to be income by the Australian Tax Office and/or Centrelink, and the scholarship recipient agrees that they are responsible for any and all taxes payable as a result of their receipt of the scholarship, if applicable. It is the responsibility of each applicant to seek independent advice on the possible implications that the potential receipt of the scholarship (if the applicant is selected as the scholarship recipient) may have on their own financial situation.

No liability

The scholarship recipient expressly acknowledges and agrees that GHE, its related entities and their respective officers, employees and agents will not be liable for any claim, liability, damages, cost, loss or expense whatsoever or howsoever caused arising directly or indirectly in connection with the scholarship recipient's receipt of the scholarship. GHE will not be liable for any lost, incomplete or corrupted applications, or applications that are not received by GHE due to a technical error or otherwise.

No partnership

The scholarship recipient acknowledges that the scholarship does not create any agency, partnership, joint venture or employee-employer relationship between the Scholarship recipient and GHE.

Governing law

These Terms will be governed by the laws of Australia, and applicants submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Australia with respect to any dispute arising out of or in connection with the scholarship. If any provision of these Terms becomes or is declared in whole or in part to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever, that provision will be severed to the extent of the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of the Terms will not be affected.

Agreement

By submitting an application for this scholarship, applicants agree to these Terms, the Terms of GHE’s privacy policy and such other Terms as are reasonably notified by GHE from time to time at its sole discretion.
