Conferences of National Significance
Do you want to a attend a conference with a rural or remote health focus?
The NRHSN receives funding from the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) to fund medical, allied health, nursing, pharmacy and dentistry students who are members of their university Rural Health Club to attend Conferences of National Significance (CoNS). CoNS is a great way for you to be able attend a conference where you will be able to network and gain the great experience and knowledge that you may not have been able to afford as a student! These conferences need to have a rural and/or remote focus and can be discipline-specific or have a general allied health focus. Students attending conferences are encouraged to present papers on the NRHSN and its activities, of their rural health club or other relevant topics - this will be looked on favourably by the CoNS committee. Students who do present at conferences on behalf of the NRHSN need to present a copy of the abstract and full paper to the NRHSN Executive prior to the conference for feedback. The costs that the NRHSN can cover include registration fee, travel costs and accommodation costs up to $70 per night. Applicants are also encouraged to seek funding from other sources or request discounts from conference organisers. How to ApplyTo apply for CoNS funding please read through the CoNS Guidelines 2009 carefully and then complete the online CoNS Application Form. Members must submit a written report to the NRHSN within one month after the conference. Make sure you read the CoNS Reports of students who have recently attended a conference. They might inspire you to apply! CoNS CalendarCoNS Calendar for 2010 will be made available shortly. If the conference that you would like to attend isn't on the CoNS Calendar, you can still apply, all you need to do is include a brief explanation about the conferences focus on rural and remote health.
