Important notes:

Midwifery applicants who have completed one or two papers in another discipline will be eligible to have their applications considered if these papers are cross creditable towards a midwifery postgraduate qualification. Proof will be required from the education provider that these papers are being undertaken as part of an overall midwifery focused qualification.

Midwives who are undertaking postgraduate study in another discipline or related topic (eg. Health Management or Public Health) or do not meet the negotiable eligibility criteria are encouraged to contact the College to discuss whether they may be eligible for a grant.

If applicants applying for Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora funding have been granted funding from another source towards the cost of the same postgraduate education (e.g. from their employer), they need to declare the nature and amount of funding or support received. Any funding support received will be deducted from Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora grant entitlement. The College advises that we are disbursing a finite postgraduate budget, therefore cannot guarantee that all applicants will receive funding. We will be priortising applications on a first come first served basis.

If you have any queries about the Postgraduate funding please email postgrad@nzcom.org.nz or contact Lynda Overton phone 03 377 2732
