Scholarship Applications

The 2025 Conference Organising Committee values insights from diverse perspectives and aims to recognise and facilitate stronger links with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences from across the globe, especially those groups which have been under-represented at previous ACP-i Conferences. This includes delegates from: 

 

  • Low or Middle Income Countries, especially the African and Latin American regions 

  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in Australia and First Nations peoples globally

  • People with lived/living experience of advance care planning processes.

 

In recognition of the financial barriers that can be faced by these groups in attending an international conference, the Organising Committee is proud to offer scholarships to attend the 2025 conference. The number of scholarships is dependent on the level of funding received from scholarship sponsors. Scholarships include registration and a contribution to travel and accommodation expenses. There are two categories of scholarships available:

 

  1. International scholarships

  2. Australian scholarships

 

The Conference Organising Committee will assess applications and communicate with successful delegates. â€‹
