Students enrolled in healthcare degrees are being encouraged to apply for up to $12,000 in financial support to assist with their studies.
Minister for Central Coast and Member for Wyong David Harris said applications were already open for the Tertiary Health Study Subsidies Program.
He said support would be available for up to 850 nursing students, 400 medical students and 150 midwifery students.
Subsidies are also available for Central Coast students of paramedicine, Aboriginal health, dentistry and oral health therapy, and various allied health professions including psychology, pharmacy, dietetics, and nuclear medicine.
Students successful in their application and beginning their degrees will receive subsidies of $4,000 per year over three years.
Existing students will receive one-off payments of $8,000 after acceptance of employment for a position within NSW Health.
Students must be willing to make a five-year commitment to working in the NSW public health system.
Harris said there were a limited number of subsidies available, and applications would remain open until all subsidies were awarded.
