South Australia Medical Imaging (SAMI) is the largest public imaging provider in Australia and employs staff across a variety of disciplines including specialist radiologists, medical physicists, radiographers, sonographers, nuclear medicine technologists, nursing and administrative support staff. SAMI employs over 1,200 staff across six metropolitan and four country sites delivering approximately 700,000 examinations each year.
The South Australia Medical Imaging Student Grant is available to full-time students enrolled in the Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) majoring in Medical Imaging or Bachelor of Medical Radiation Science (Honours) majoring in Nuclear Medicine.
Third and fourth-year students are encouraged to apply, and recipients receive a $5,000 grant payable in two instalments of $2,500 in the year they are awarded the grant. Applicants must have resided in South Australia for at least two years before commencing the medical radiation program and intend to practice in South Australia following graduation.

The Grant includes the opportunity for recipients to engage with SAMI for professional and career development and the recipients will be invited to meet with SAMI soon after receiving the Grant.
