Professional Development Subsidies
 

What is the Professional Development Subsidy?
The Professional Development Subsidy is an initiative from ACAP Western Australia, whereby financial members can apply to have their attendance at seminars, workshops or other educational/professional development activities subsidised by ACAP Western Australia.

The programs' aim is to encourage that professional development and continuing education of pre-hospital care clinicians, at any level, by financially assisting their attendance at development activities relating to the pre-hospital care field.

The subsidy is available by application, with each application judged on its merits based upon the relevance of the activity to pre-hospital care. 

What is the value of the subsidy?
As an incentive for financial members to attend professional development opportunities, ACAP Western Australia offers its subsidies based on the following criteria:

1. Any financial member* (to a maximum of 10 financial members for any one activity) to the value of 50% of the cost of the activity, capped at a maximum of $200 per financial member

2. Applications where the value of the subsidy requested is greater that $200 will be assessed on a case by case basis

1. Contact the Professional Development Coordinator to advise you would like to attend and activity for which you will be requesting a subsidy from ACAP Western Australia
