资助与薪酬
ARC-funded scholarship: tax-free AUD 36,061 per year at the 2026 rate for three years. RTP tuition-fee offset for Australian/NZ citizens and Australian permanent residents.
资助条件
The formal eligibility list requires Australian/NZ citizenship or Australian permanent residency. A separate benefits statement says international applicants may be considered and supported in applying for an RTP fee waiver. International eligibility and tuition coverage therefore require confirmation; a fee waiver is not guaranteed. Scholarship selection and HDR admission are separate.
合同与期限
Three-year full-time PhD scholarship. Preferred start 1 January 2027; latest stated start 1 March 2027.
