The Victorian Government is helping more disability workers to deliver services in regional and rural Victoria. It is doing this by providing financial support to complete a course in disability.
Scholarships of $3,500 will be available to students studying with an approved Victorian training provider. At the time of applications assessment, the applicant must be studying or recently graduated from:
- Certificate III in Individual Support (Disability) (CHC33021), or
- Certificate IV in Disability Support (CHC43121).
Students completing the dual Ageing and Disability specialisation of the Certificate III in Individual Support may also be eligible.
The scholarships are available for domestic students living in regional Victoria and there are a limited number available. Students with disability and students from First Nations communities are encouraged to apply. They will be prioritised for a scholarship.
Applications open on Tuesday 21 July 2026 and close on Tuesday 15 September 2026. For more information and to see if you are eligible visit the regional disability worker scholarships government webpage.
