Applications are open for bursaries to support First Nations delegates in attending the 2025 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Eye Health Conference (NATSIEHC25).

The bursaries are administered by the organisers of NATSIEHC25, with oversight by the Conference Leadership Group.
Funding for these bursaries is made possible through the generous support of conference sponsors. You can read more about our sponsors here

Key Selection Criteria
Applicants must be Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander People with an interest in eye health.
Priority may be given to First Nations high school and university students, Aboriginal Health Workers and Practitioners, and staff from Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services.
Please note that due to high demand and limited funding, most bursaries will be allocated based on sponsorships and external support. We encourage you to explore other potential funding opportunities within your organisation to help ensure more First Nations delegates can participate.
