Health career pathways

Deciding on the right career path isn’t always easy but knowing your options will help make the decision easier

Universities

Studying in the NT provides you with quality education, boundless employment opportunities, and the chance to live and work in a community close to so many spectacular locations.

Financial support

As a student, you could be eligible to one of three main support payments: youth allowance, ABSTUDY or Austudy.

Clinical placements

Flinders University supports clinical placements in rural and remote locations in the NT for health science students from universities across Australia.

Placement experiences are challenging and rewarding and can vary between remote clinics and practices to large tertiary hospitals, isolated desert communities or multi-cultural centres of Darwin and Alice Springs. Placement is a great opportunity to learn and get involved in local communities and make a positive difference to the health of our population.
