Students in the Diploma of Nursing can now apply for the Commonwealth Prac Payment (CPP). This new grant is aimed to provide financial relief during mandatory prac placements.

How does it work?

The CPP (VET) is a grant from the government paid to eligible TAFE SA Diploma of Nursing students. The grant can cover up to a maximum of 400 prac placement hours, approximately $331.65 per week. It will be paid in instalments each time a prac placement is taken during the course of the qualification.

The grant will be available from July 1 2025, and applications are now open. We encourage all Diploma of Nursing students to check the eligibility criteria and apply.
