Enjoy paid, hands-on experience while you study an eligible allied health course.

Applications for next year’s Aboriginal Allied Health Cadetships are now open!

Abagail’s career was transformed after completing the Aboriginal Allied Health Cadetship during the first year of her Master of Psychology. “I’ve made incredible connections with other clinicians and received cultural supervision that’s helped me grow both personally and professionally.”

For Abagail, the Cadetship also provided a better understanding of her studies and allowed her to put her knowledge into practice. “There are so many ways to integrate Aboriginal culture into Western medicine,” she says. Her thesis explores the restorative effects of nature and how being on Country can reduce stress – a concept that resonates across cultures.

Abagail encourages other Aboriginal students considering a career in allied health to embrace every opportunity. “Be open-minded. I never thought I’d be part of an alcohol and other drugs clinic, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences.”

Applications for the 2026 Aboriginal Allied Health Cadetship program are now open for eligible Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students in their final two years of study.
