Based on your experience, can you tell us what are some important things that any prospective applicant needs to think about before applying for an Australia Awards scholarship?

The process actually is quite detailed, but I can assure you listeners out there and prospective applicants that it's not difficult.

And I think the Australian Awards spends a lot of time providing information on their website and through various media forms.

and they have very good information sessions that help people understand the requirements and what they need to do to be eligible.

But I think one of the most important things that any prospective applicant needs to think about is why do you want to do this scholarship? Why do you want to study in Australia and why do you want to take up this program? You need to know that before you think of applying.

And also familiarize yourself with the requirements.

What are the little things that you need to prepare? Documents? And if you need to be aware of which institution you want to go to, what programs they're offering, you can get that on the internet, as well as through Australian Awards information portals.

With the skills and knowledge you have gained through this scholarship, how do you feel you are contributing to the overall development of Papua New Guinea through your work?
