CPE Community Event Scholarship

Massage & Myotherapy Australia would like to invite you and three professional colleagues to arrange your own CPE event in your own or a rural or remote region/town. Previously it has often not always been viable to hold events in rural and remote Australia due to the likelihood of fewer attendees as well as the expense of arranging for a presenter to travel outside metropolitan areas. The aim of this scholarship is to provide education and also the experience of networking with peers.
