History of the Scholarship

The 2005 Forster Report identified Queensland Health’s most critical area of workforce shortage as the allied health group. Allied Health staff are a diverse group including Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, Social Workers, Psychologists, Pharmacists, Dieticians, Nutritionists, Radiographers, Radiation Therapists, Podiatrists, Orthotists and Prosthetists.

In response to the Forster Report, recurrent funds were allocated within the Action Plan “Building a Better Health Service for Queensland” in October 2005 to provide additional support and supervision to new graduates, scholarships for students and to facilitate other workforce initiatives. The funds are aimed at facilitating improved recruitment and retention of allied health professionals in Queensland Health.
