Apprenticeships and traineeships will be funded from within current budget settings.
NMBWA will be transitioning to the Australian Health Profession Regulation Agency and it is unclear at this stage what funding will be available.
Extra funding has not been applied for.
The ability to appoint trainees at Healthway is carefully planned around the capacity to do so (as Healthway is a small organisation with only 14.0FTE) and the type of project work being undertaken. Historically, Healthway has welcomed health promotion students to assist with finite projects which has in some instances led to further employment in the health promotion field.
