Awards

A number of awards and scholarships are offered annually by PSANZ. The number of awards may vary from time to time and are offered at the discretion of the board. Awards and scholarships are presented at the annual PSANZ congress and thus the call for applications will be approximately six months prior to or at the time of the annual congress.
