I came across this new scholarship opportunity I thought worth passing on:

“COMORBIDITY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SCHOLARSHIPS:
FOR ALCOHOL AND OTHER DRUG AND MENTAL HEALTH WORKERS
?

The Australian Government has allocated $17.9 million over seven years from 2003-04 to 2009-10 for the National Comorbidity Initiative (NCI).

The National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction (NCETA) has $1.9 million in funding to be awarded for Comorbidity Professional Development Scholarships as part of this initiative.

The Comorbidity Professional Development Scholarships are open to Alcohol and Other Drug and Mental Health workers employed in non-government organisations. The initiative aims to enhance workers professional skills and knowledge across the comorbidities of AOD and Mental Health by providing funding to support eligible workers to undertake relevant professional development and/or training.

Round 2 scholarships for 2008 are scheduled as follows:
