Your scholarship funding is for travel and accommodation costs directly associated with clinical placements done as part of your Bachelor of Nursing or Bachelor of Midwifery degree. The Health Education and Training Institute doesn't need receipts. However, you should keep these for taxation purposes.
If you don't do your clinical placement, you need to tell the Health Education and Training Institute in writing within seven days and you'll have to pay back the grant in full.
No withholding tax will be deducted.
Please seek independent taxation advice regarding your personal circumstances.
An FBT issue arises if you're an employee in the public health system and receive funding from the Health Education and Training Institute.
