To celebrate IWD 2025, the NHMRC and partner funded Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership initiative and MCHRI are offering 5 women who are working with, or from, an underserved community the opportunity to attend the Monash University Women in Leadership Program at the significantly reduced rate of $500 (usual cost $1749).
This program is offered multiple times throughout 2025, with online and in-person options. It includes self-paced e-modules to be completed prior to program delivery, and two full interactive days. See here for a list of 2025 dates. Please note this scholarship is not available for the Prato programs in July 2025.
