For 50 years, QV Skincare has been dedicated to caring for skin, with a rich history rooted in healthcare. It all began with a request from the dermatology ward of Melbourne's iconic Queen Victoria Hospital, establishing QV's close association with healthcare practitioners (HCPs) from the very start.
Decades later, the QV brand remains family-owned, Australian-made, and a symbol of quality and innovation. With over 50 QV products available in more than 20 countries and over 50 million units sold, we're proud to be the skincare choice for multiple generations seeking to cleanse and moisturize their dry, sensitive skin.
QV continues to be highly regarded by healthcare practitioners, a testament to the trust dermatologists, GPs, and pharmacists place in the brand.
The QV Healthcare Practitioner Student Scholarship will award $30,000 in prize money (3 x $10,000 prizes) to undergraduate and postgraduate students in Pharmacy, Medicine, or Nursing courses. We're doing this to further the education of the next generation of Australian healthcare practitioners.
Launching on August 25th, 2025, it's QV's way of helping those who go on to help people with sensitive skin.
The selection of winners (one each from the study fields of Pharmacy, Medicine and Nursing) is dependent upon meeting eligibility criteria, as well as completing a short 500 word essay - both are detailed further below.
