This scholarship carries forward the legacy of the Movement Disorder Foundation and the person who inspired it - cerebal palsy sufferer, Peter Hains. It was the objective of the Movement Disorder Foundation to make a significant difference to all individuals living with a physical disability, and also to make a significant difference to the wider community so that those living with such disability find it easier to navigate the challenges of daily living. The Movement Disorder Foundation Scholarship Program has been established with the same vision - to ensure a substantial impact on both the individual and society through supporting students committed to improving the lives of people living with physical disabilities.

Students with a physical disability from all areas of study are encouraged to apply, particularly those studying Medicine or Engineering, with 2 scholarships reserved specifically for these disciplines.

The Robert Sidhwani Memorial Scholarship in Medicine recognises the significant impact medical practitioners have on the community and aims to support students studying medicine who experience financial disadvantage.

Dr. Robert Sidhwani was one of the first family GPs in the Illawarra. He established his solo practice in the 80s and continued to provide bulk-billed care to all patients who required his help until his retirement in 2018. His passion was solving problems, and providing diagnoses for patients where other medical professionals could not. By dedicating his life to medicine and to his patients, Dr. Sidhwani saved countless lives over the years.
