About this scholarship

SafeFish will provide a grant for a passionate post-graduate student undertaking a research project specific to food safety or market access of Australian seafood and aspiring to remain in the sector on completion. Example research areas could be contamination of any hazard (microbial, chemical or physical) in seafood either produced or imported into Australia, public health aspects, risk assessment, risk management or risk communication, supply chain/processing activities that impact food safety, traceability, seafood fraud related to food safety, or other high priority topics deemed acceptable to the SafeFish partnership.

The grant can be used for the following purposes: operating expenses directly relating to the research; conference/workshop participation when presenting; a collaborative placement; or publication expenses.
