Building healthier communities

Since 2022, with additional community contributions, the scholarship has supported nine Flinders NT students, helping them achieve their studies without the burden of financial stress, and enabling them to become health professionals within NT communities.

“It has been such a privilege to work with so many wonderful students who are motivated by the desire to make a difference to the health of our community through the transformative power of research and education,” says Professor Craig. 

Proud Gamilaraay man, Aaron Gordon says the Flinders NT Health Scholarship has been a “huge help” to his daily life and his medical studies.

“This scholarship has enabled me to focus on my studies by helping to keep food on the table and pay the bills. The funds have also covered essential study resources like books, subscriptions and medical equipment,” says Aaron.

“My goal is to find a small town or community where I can continue my training as a GP with advanced skills in emergency medicine. I want to work in a place where my skills can make a real difference, providing both primary care and critical care in settings where access to medical services is limited.”
