The Program
Destination Australia funds eligible tertiary education providers to offer scholarships to domestic and international students to study and live in regional Australia.

The Destination Australia Program:

• Supports regional and remote Australian tertiary education providers by promoting activities that contribute to growth and sustainability
• Offers students from Australia and overseas the opportunity to undertake high quality education, training and research, and to experience life in regional and remote Australia
• Ensures regions share in the social, cultural and economic benefits that international students bring.
• The Destination Australia Program defines a regional location as any area outside of Major Cities of Australia, in line with the Australian Bureau of Statistics' Australian Statistical Geography Standard Remoteness Structure.

The 2023 round of the program offers scholarship funding of up to $15,000 per student, per year, for approximately 480 domestic and international students commencing their studies in 2023.

Additional objectives for 2023 include:

• Helping to fix areas of skills shortages and fill future skills needs by prioritising domestic and international students studying courses that are aligned with the Australian Government’s National Skills Priority List
• Providing scholarships for domestic students from underrepresented groups to enable them to access tertiary education in regional Australia.
