2025 Bursary Program
QMWS is very pleased to advise of the launch of our 2025 Bursaries that are administered through the National Council of Women of Queensland (NCWQ) Bursary Program.
Supporting Our Future Professionals
QMWS strongly supports professional development, including participating in international conferences, networking with both medical and women’s groups, and mentoring opportunities to further members’ aspirations in the medical field. Inspirational role models and mentoring opportunities are instrumental in inspiring, shaping and supporting extraordinary careers. This bursary supports female medical students’ involvement in local and international conferences and networking opportunities, so that they may reach their full potential, achieve their dreams, and work towards truly equitable health outcomes for all.
We invite you to contribute to the QMWS Bursary.
Your kind donation will support our ongoing contribution to Queensland medical women students. Your donation directly contributes toward the QMWS Bursary funds. The other two bursaries are fully funded by our kind sponsors – Mater Health and AMAQ.
You can make a financial contribution, in any amount you like, via our secure “Make A Contribution” link.
We use Stripe to securely process your debit /credit card payment.
To celebrate the 90th anniversary of QMWS, the NCWQ QMWS Student Bursary Program was established in 2019.
QMWS continues to promote the health and welfare of all Australians, particularly women and children. The bursary program supports female medical students, recent graduates and those in need in Queensland who are passionate about health equity and gender equity in medicine.

On 25th January 2025, the QMWS100 Working Committee began digitising the historical contents of the QMWS suitcases at Dr Barbara Woodhouse’s clinic, preserving the society’s rich legacy.
