High School to Health Careers Program

If you’re a university student looking for a career in health, the High School to Health Careers Program is a great way to experience the Northern Territory and explore opportunities in healthcare you never thought were possible.

We’re currently not accepting new applications.

The High School to Health Careers Program (HSHCP) gives students studying a health discipline an opportunity to:

  • visit high schools in the Northern Territory and deliver hands-on workshops that promote health careers to school students
  • meet health professionals and learn from their experiences in rural and remote health
  • participate in Indigenous cultural experiences.

Past trips

West Arnhem Land (Jabiru and Maningrida)

University students studying a health discipline have the opportunity to participate West Arnhem Land. 

Students who are selected will visit high schools in Jabiru and deliver hands-on workshops that inspire students to become the next generation of health professionals. This is a great way to:

  • provide positive examples to high school students in remote areas to pursue a career in health
  • encourage school students in remote areas to stay at school and attain the best possible education
  • promote healthy lifestyles and healthy choices to school students
  • emphasise the multidisciplinary aspect of health careers.

 

Students will travel by charter plane to the remote community of Maningrida where they will spend a day exploring the health services in the area and participating in Indigenous cultural activities.

Flights, accommodation, transport and some meals will be provided.
