Scholarships for Allied Health Professionals in Rural and Remote Areas to study the Inside Out Coaching course.
Are you a Psychotherapist, Counsellor or Allied Health Professional providing services in rural or remote Australia?
If so, you may be eligible to apply for a scholarship to enable you to study our Inside Out Coaching Course.
How it Works.
The Health Workforce Scholarship Program (HWSP) provides scholarships and bursaries to help privately employed health professionals in remote, rural and regional Australia retain and enhance their skills, capacity and scope of practise.
Bursaries (ie. reimbursement payments) of up to $10,000 can be claimed to cover the cost of training and/or course fees and/or cover or partially cover training-related expenses.
Bursaries must be directly related to training and upskilling health professionals who are providing or who are planning to provide face-to-face primary health services to rural and remote areas. Training programs must relate to particular areas of study.

Applying for a Bursary for the Inside Out Coaching Course
Our Inside Out Coaching course provides Allied Health professionals with a complementary skillset that truly is context-agnostic.
Depending on your specialty and areas of interest in your primary Allied Health practice, you can apply what you learn and practice in the Inside Out Coaching course which has been designed to meet primary health workforce needs, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care or Addiction Management. The core content of the Inside Out Coaching Course lends itself particularly well to addressing mental health issues - another approved area of study for which Allied Health practitioners can apply for a HWSP bursary.
Inside Out Coaching for Addiction Management
The Inside Out Coaching Course teaches a framework that enables any health practitioner to assist a patient who is struggling with addiction management. This is achieved by mapping the behaviours of addiction and reworking them into functional behaviours by identifying unmet needs and fulfilling them using the recovery capital model.
Inside Out Coaching for Chronic Disease Management & Mental Health
As allied health professionals, supporting behavioural change in our clients is often at the root of successful therapeutic encounters. We must assess client needs and advise what behavioural changes are most in their interest. While many clients wish to apply such advice, they often fail to break well-established habits. The result is that clients progress slowly along their healing journey.
There is a solid foundation of evidenced-based research which shows that healthcare professionals who implement a dialogic framework based upon coaching principles are better able to support their clients to achieve their health-related goals. In other words, learning a therapeutic coaching lens helps my clients to change their habits moving forward.
Traditional, client-led coaching approaches fail to address the unique behavioural challenges posed by allied health clients because they are focused on generic coaching techniques rather than the trauma-informed approach developed for Inside Out Coaching. Contemporary insights into the nature of trauma suggest that many maladaptive behaviours ultimately have their origin in a survival impulse generated as a response to a traumatic circumstance or event. Such behaviours may only be effectively addressed via a trauma-informed approach to behavioural change.
The Inside Out Coaching course implements a robust, evidence-based therapeutic coaching methodology to enable positive mental health outcomes. As a relational, trauma-informed coaching modality, Inside Out Coaching provides Allied Health practitioners with an effective complementary skillset for supporting their clients with mental health presentations.
