AIBN Parental Leave Funding Support

Advance Queensland Women’s Academic Fund (Government Scheme)

This fund supports the retention, development and progression of female researchers within Queensland based universities. The program encourages female researchers to return to their research careers following parental leave and offers the following funding:

  • Maternity funding (up to $25,000) – to fund another researcher or research assistant to continue your research program while you are on maternity leave;
  • Carer funding (up to $1,000) – to cover out-of-pocket childcare or respite costs incurred while you present at a conference or sit on a professional research committee.
