available at the commencement of the project work and for the anticipated duration of the project. The only permitted exception to this rule (which
requires the written approval of the Dean, Graduate Research) occurs when the candidate is undertaking the project under the aegis of their
employment external to JCU.
Items should be indicated to the nearest $500 AUD.
Items such as conference attendance, thesis preparation or access to facilities or consumables for which the College is normally responsible do not need
to be included here.
