The Postgraduate Scholarship is aimed at allied health professionals who practise in Australia. When the Scholarship is oversubscribed rurality may be used as a ranking tool.

In determining rurality for the Postgraduate Scholarship the Australian Government acknowledges that universities within Tasmania and the Northern Territory do not provide allied health courses. For the purposes of this scholarship program, all of the Northern Territory and Tasmania will be considered eligible and equivalent to at least ASGC-RA 3.
