Rural trainee travel bursary for RANZCP Congress

The RANZCP Foundation is pleased to offer 12 travel bursaries of $1,000 each to support rural trainees to attend the RANZCP Congress in 2026 or 2027.

This one‑off initiative is designed to help make Congress more accessible for trainees in remote communities — supporting connection, learning, and the chance to build meaningful networks across the broader psychiatry community.

This bursary is supported by a donation of remaining funds from the NSW Country Psychiatrists’ Association, following its wind-up, and additional member donations.
