Our next generation’s most promising healthcare practitioners have been recognised with QV Skincare today announcing the winners of the annual QV Healthcare Practitioner Student Scholarship.

Jessie Bennett (Monash University) from the Pharmacy category, Annette Nuich (Edith Cowan University) from the Nursing category and Rebekah Mauger (Deakin University) from the Medicine category have each been awarded $10,000 in prize money following a nationwide campaign that saw entries from medicine, pharmacy and nursing students.

"This year we received over 140 entries, each with a range of impressive and considered scholarship essays, however Jessie’s, Annette’s and Rebekah’s entries were true standouts", said QV Senior Regional Brand Manager, Kira Torpy.

Launched in 2022, the QV Healthcare Practitioner Student Scholarship aims to help further the education of the next generation of healthcare leaders.

QV Skincare, part of the Ego Pharmaceuticals portfolio, has a long and close association with helping people with sensitive skin since the business was first founded following a request from the dermatology ward of Melbourne’s iconic Queen Victoria Hospital.

Decades on, the QV brand remains family owned, Australian made, and synonymous with quality and innovation. With over 50 QV products sold in more than 20 nations around the world, QV is proud to be the #1 recommended sensitive skincare brand by healthcare practitioners¹, a testament to the trust dermatologists, GPs and pharmacists have in the brand.
