Get going in rural practice with the Allied Health and Nursing Rural Relocation Grants.

Expand your horizons and experience a change in lifestyle and career by moving to a South Australian rural community to work as an allied health or nursing professional.

The grant is available to new graduates starting work and for experienced practitioners who are moving to start a job in a private practice. Up to $5,000 can be applied for to assist with the costs of moving to live and work in country.

You can use the grant to subsidise rent in your new town, cover removalist costs, buy new furniture and contribute to setup costs.

If you already have a new job lined up, read the Guidelines to see if you are eligible, or talk to our team.

If you are looking to see what’s on offer in rural practice, see our Allied Health and Nursing Jobs or contact us.
