Enrolment Places
Enrolment Places
The School of Medicine will have approximately 120 places within four different categories:
- Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)
- Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Scheme (MRBS)
- Bonded Medical Places (BMP)
- International
1. Commonwealth Supported Places
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a higher education place for which the Commonwealth Government makes a contribution towards the cost of the student’s education. Students placed into this category have no bonding or government funded scholarship attached to their enrolment. The School offers approximately 75 unfettered CSPs each year.
2. Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Scheme (MRBS)
The MRBS is a Commonwealth Government initiative to deliver more doctors and improved services to rural communities. Upon completion of the MBBS, students who have entered into a contract with the Commonwealth Government for the scholarship, agree to practice for six years in rural areas of Australia. The School offers approximately four MRBS places each year. Applications for this type of place will be released to applicants who are invited to interview. The MRBS places are offered after students have commenced the course. For further information regarding the conditions and monetary value of the Scholarship please visit the MRBS scholarships page of Department of Health and Ageing or by:

3. Bonded Medical Places (BMP) Scheme
This scheme was devised by the Commonwealth Government to provide bonded medical places across all existing medical schools, creating additional CSP places that would not otherwise be available. Applicants do not need to apply for a BMP - the School will automatically allocate these places.
Students who accept a BMP in the medical course agree to work in a district of workforce shortage for a period of five years upon completion of their subsequent vocational training. To obtain further information on the BMP, please visit the BMP page of the Department of Health and Aging or by:
