TSANZ ASM Carer’s Grant

 

TSANZ is committed to inclusion and diversity in all that we do. The TSANZ ASM Carer’s Grant is provided, as part of the TSANZ travel award program, to support TSANZ members who have primary care giver responsibility of a child financial assistance to attend and participate in the TSANZ Annual Scientific Meeting. The grant must be utilised to fund additional care giving costs incurred directly as a result of the caregiver’s participation in the ASM. The grant must not be used for existing care costs or to cover the usual costs of attendance such as travel expenses and conference registration.

Selection process: If more applicants are received than funds available, the TSANZ will, in their absolute discretion, determine how the funds will be allocated. Priority will be given to applicants with children up to primary school age or children of any age with special needs.

Closing date: Friday 28 February 2020

Note: Receipts will not be required until money is claimed after the event.
