“I have expertise in my subspecialty area of civil forensic assessments that I did not previously have; this is an internationally certified expert status. I feel highly supported professionally and engaged in an isolated major regional area with little opportunities for professional development.”

How do funding rounds work?
FAQs:
What is the maximum amount I can apply for per Funding Round?
The maximum is $10,000.
Can I apply for multiple CPD activities in the same Funding Round?
Yes, although you will only be awarded a grant for one activity. If you are applying for multiple activities, it is a good idea to rank them in order of your preference.
Can I apply for a CPD activity / event overseas?
Unfortunately, no. All CPD activities must be completed within Australia.
Can I apply for a CPD activity retrospectively?
Unfortunately, no.
All CPD activities must be requested prospectively and completed within the Funding Round activity window (15 months).
How can I increase my chances of securing a CPD grant?
To increase your chances:
- Make the benefits of the CPD activity to your learning goals and the community/ies you serve clear
- Apply for more active learning, such as a clinical placement or peer review
Often applications exceed available grant funds. If you miss out, please re-apply during the next round.
Can I apply for university degrees, diplomas, and certificates?
The Assessment Panel may consider requests to complete components of individual university level study e.g. courses and workshops. The proposed course(s) must be completed within the designated Funding Round activity window.
When would I receive the CPD grant funds?
Once you have completed your activity, we will ask you to send us your receipts and complete a short evaluation survey. Once this is done, we will reimburse you for your expenses into your nominated bank account.
I am no longer able to attend my approved CPD course/activity, what happens to my grant?
If you have any difficulties attending your CPD activity please contact us.
You may be able to attend an alternative activity but will need to get permission in writing. To apply for a change, simply send us details of why you were unable to attend your approved activity along with the proposed replacement activity.
Your total grant amount won’t change and you will have to complete the new activity within the funding round activity window.
