The Pamela Hession Nurse Scholarship

The Friends of The Mater Foundation is delighted to help support the ongoing education and development of Mater nurses so that they can continue to provide the highest quality care for the patients.

The annual Pamela Hession Nurse Scholarship invites applicants from any full time or part time registered nurse or midwife to undertake post graduate studies in their speciality area. The Scholarship has been established in memory of Mrs Pamela Hession who was cared for over many years at the Mater’s Patricia Ritchie Centre for Cancer Care and Research.

Congratulations to the 2025 recipient, Nurse & Midwife, Sara Buckland (pictured with Dr Reg Hession AM & Foundation Chairman Dr Keith Hartman AM) who is studying a Graduate Certificate in Perinatal & Infant Mental Health.

The 2025 applications are now closed. Applications for 2026 will open in April 2026.
