Fellowship Conditions and Timetable

Approval of all fellowship awards is contingent upon: meeting normal Australian immigration and visa requirements; possession of a valid U.S. passport and Australian academic visa; a satisfactory medical examination; and agreement with the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing on the starting date, length of tenure, mentor and placement, and the fellowship project to be undertaken.

While on tenure, fellows may not perform services for an employer for whom they are on paid or unpaid leave of absence.

As a condition of the fellowship appointment, fellows must agree not to seek permanent appointment or residence in Australia for at least two years following their fellowship.
