Psychiatrists, nurses and allied health professionals from the Asia-Pacific region who have completed formal postgraduate clinical training in psychiatry or mental health either in their countries of origin or abroad are eligible to apply to the program. Fellowships offer the opportunity for first-hand experience of Victorian mental health service delivery.
