Full list: Here's who will get $338 weekly payments under prac payment expansion

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced during Labor's National Conference that paid practical placements will be expanded to university students in 10 frontline allied health fields starting from July next year. Eligible students will receive up to $338.60 per week, with the program projected to cost $745 million over the next decade. The initiative builds on an existing scheme for teaching, nursing, midwifery, and social work students introduced over a year ago. Albanese emphasized the move as cost-of-living relief for students and an investment in the future healthcare workforce. He also criticized the One Nation party for its perceived lack of substantive policies.
