Paid Prac Starts Today

Commonwealth Prac Payments start today for nursing, midwifery, teaching and social work students.

Eligible students will receive $331.65 per week while doing the mandatory prac placements as part of their degree, which has been benchmarked to the single Austudy per week rate.

This new payment will provide cost-of-living relief for around 68,000 eligible higher education students and more than 5,000 VET students each year.

Newly published grant guidelines will make sure the Commonwealth Prac Payment is fair and accessible to eligible students.

This includes students who may face additional challenges due to disability, health, or acute family circumstances and life events.

Acting on the Universities Accord recommendation, this payment will help students with cost of living and encourage more people to study nursing, midwifery, teaching and social work.

University students will be able to apply for the Prac Payment through their higher education providers.

TAFE students enrolled in a Diploma of Nursing will have their payment administered directly by the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.
