Expressions of Interest are now open
Are you an allied health, nursing or medical student at university? Are you interested in pursuing a career in rural and remote Northern Territory? The GROW NT Program offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in rural and remote primary health care in the NT through a fully supported immersion weekend in Central Australia.
You’ll learn from a range of primary healthcare professionals and Aboriginal Elders and community leaders about what life is really like working in rural and remote NT. This isn’t a placement. It’s an opportunity to explore what a future career in rural and remote health could look like.

Participants will:
- Visit rural and remote primary health care services
- Learn from Aboriginal Elders, knowledge holders and community leaders

- Gain insights into culturally safe, place-based models of care
- Build connections with like-minded students from allied health, nursing and medicine
- Learn about career pathways and opportunities available across rural and remote Northern Territory
Who can apply?
Expressions of Interest are open to university students studying allied health, nursing and medicine in any year of their degree
Priority will be given to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people, those with cultural and/or kinship ties to the NT, and those from or with family connections in the NT
What’s included?

- Return travel (where required)
