Medical Schools in Australia: Compare Every Program
All 22 schools and 53 routes into Australian medicine for 2027 entry — weightings, seats, bonuses and interview formats, from each university's own pages. Anything unconfirmed says "not published"; nothing is guessed.
Schools reward different people — weightings run from interview-heavy (Adelaide 40%) to formula-driven (UQ graduate entry: MMI 50%), with bonuses for rural background, prior degrees, even health-sector jobs. The matcher finds where your profile is rewarded in 30 seconds.
How this comparison is built
Primary sources only · 2027-entry cycle
- Every figure from the university's own admissions pages, the GEMSAS guide or the state admissions centre — never forums.
- Independently re-verified; unpublished facts say "not published", never a guess.
- Grouped by entry level: school-leaver, provisional pathways, graduate.
- Rules change every cycle — each card carries its as-of cycle and primary source.

School-by-school detail
Everything we could verify for each school, in its published wording. The weighting row is the one to compare — it's what decides whether your strengths count.
Adelaide University SA · 1 program
Bachelor of Medical Studies, Doctor of Medicine (BMSt + MD)
Weighting
Published. "Ranking for offers is based on a combination of scores from these three components: UCAT ANZ results (20%), Interview results (40%) and academic results (40%)." Interview shortlisting stage: eligibility is based on UCAT ANZ results with the cognitive sections equally weighted and the Situational Judgment Test used only as a tie-breaker among lower-ranked candidates with equal totals.
Seats
Total intake not published on Adelaide University's current pages. Published sub-quotas only: "Adelaide University reserves approximately 41 places for students from a rural background"; "a number of places allocated specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants" (number not published); places offered as CSP in non-bonded (ABP171) and Bonded Medical Program (ABP271) streams, split not published. International: the degree page states "This degree is only available to Australian students" — no international intake published for this cycle.
Eligibility
Domestic only (Australian/NZ citizens, Australian permanent residents incl. permanent humanitarian visa holders). Selection rank/ATAR 90.00 confirmed, but the '(IB 33)' equivalent is unverified — do not publish as fact. The degree page makes no IB mention and the 2027 Health Study Guide lists 'IB score: NA' for this degree. — "Entry is highly competitive" and most successful applicants sit significantly higher. Prerequisite: any one of SACE Stage 2 Biology, Chemistry or Mathematical Methods (or equivalent). All applicants except Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway applicants must sit the UCAT ANZ in the year before entry (2027 entry: UCAT window 1 July – 5 August 2026). Interview shortlisting is by UCAT ANZ result; approximately 600 applicants are invited to interview, and "a minimum 50% of school leaver applicants invited for interviews will be from South Australia." Rural quota (~41 places): residence in MMM (2019) MM2–7 areas for at least 5 consecutive years or 10 years cumulatively. Non-school-leaver pathways: Higher Education (1–2 years of study at Adelaide University or antecedent institutions only, minimum GPA 5.0) and Work/Life Experience (competitive STAT, 18+ by 1 February) — all still require UCAT and interview. Strict quotas apply; late applications not considered. Progression to the MD requires completed BMSt from the university.
Bonuses
No subject adjustment factors: "The Adelaide University medical program does not consider subject adjustment factors, so the Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Scheme does not apply. Adjustment factors for the Bachelor of Medical Studies are only available under the Universities Equity Scheme" (size of equity adjustment not published on the degree page). Rural background: ~41 reserved places (quota, not a rank bonus). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway: reserved places, UCAT ANZ waived, all eligible applicants invited to a dedicated ~20-minute interview conducted largely by Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander panellists.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) — "a series of scenarios and questions, with a minimum of six stations lasting 10 minutes each." Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway applicants instead have an approximately 20-minute interview largely with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander panellists.
Changes
The University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia merged to form Adelaide University, which opened for its first intake in 2026 — the medical program is now offered under the new institution (SATAC codes ABP171/ABP271, Adelaide City campus) with the published 20/40/40 UCAT/interview/academic weighting. The current degree pages state the program "is only available to Australian students," whereas the antecedent University of Adelaide published international medicine admissions guides up to 2025 entry — no official announcement explaining the change was found. No changes to weighting, prerequisites or thresholds announced between 2026 and 2027 entry (the university's 2027 Health Study Guide repeats the same requirements and weighting).
Adelaide has only ONE route into medicine in the current cycle: undergraduate entry to the Bachelor of Medical Studies with guaranteed internal progression to the Doctor of Medicine (\"upon successful completion you'll gain direct entry into the Doctor of Medicine\"; the MD \"does not accept direct applications\"). There is NO graduate/GAMSAT-entry MD (Adelaide does not participate in GEMSAS) and no separate provisional/assured pathway program — the BMSt→MD guarantee is built into the single program, so it is listed once as undergraduate. Institutional context is important for freshness: the …
ANU ACT · 2 programs
Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD) — graduate entry
Weighting
Published. Interview selection: "Selection for interview is based on a 50:50 composite score derived from your GPA (weighted 50%) and Overall GAMSAT/MCAT score (weighted 50%), plus any applicable higher degree research bonus." Final offers: "a final weighted score derived from the interview score (weighted 50%) and the composite GPA/GAMSAT or MCAT score used for the interview ranking (weighted 50%), plus any applicable higher degree research bonus."
Seats
2027 entry (GEMSAS): CSP 63*, BMP 26*, international up to 30*. Asterisked note: approximately 40 places are reserved for ANU undergraduate (Bachelor of Health Science) pathway students; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander places are additional/uncapped.
Eligibility
Bachelor degree (AQF Level 7 minimum, at least 3.0 FTE years; if completed >10 years ago, 0.5 FTE further study within the last 10 years required). Minimum weighted GPA 5.0 (3-year weighted: most recent year x3, next x2, next x1). Domestic: GAMSAT minimum Overall 50 with minimum 50 in each section. International: GAMSAT 50/50-per-section OR MCAT minimum 125 in each section (results valid 4 years); interview guaranteed at weighted GPA 6.0 plus GAMSAT Overall 60, or MCAT 515. No prerequisite subjects. Domestic = citizens/PR via GEMSAS; CSP or BMP places (at least 29% of domestic first-year places must be BMP under the federal Bonded Medical Program). Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants have dedicated pathways, some GAMSAT-free, with minimum GPA 4.5.
Bonuses
Higher-degree research bonuses: standalone Honours +2%, Master's by research +2%, PhD +4% (only the highest applies). Rural quota: 29% of the annual intake designated for rural-background applicants (Modified Monash MM2-7; 5 consecutive or 10 cumulative years residence, documented via the GEMSAS form). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway: priority access / dedicated uncapped places, some routes GAMSAT-free with GPA 4.5 minimum. No UCAT, no portfolio, no rural GAMSAT/GPA percentage bonus published.
Interview
Online interview (Zoom), held early/mid-September 2026 for domestic applicants (GEMSAS dates Fri 4 – Fri 11 September 2026) and mid-late July for international and Indigenous applicants. ANU describes it as a two-part interview with "a variety of direct and scenario-based questions" covering a range of topics and scenarios; ANU does not label it an MMI. Interview must be passed (pathway documents define a pass as a minimum raw score of 60%).
Changes
ANU has disestablished two of its school-leaver/undergraduate feeder routes: the Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours) PhB pathway and the Tuckwell Scholarship pathway to the MChD — only students with an admit year of 2026 or prior will be considered under those pathways (unverified — do not publish as fact. The ANU PhB pathway page states only: "This pathway has been disestablished. Only students who have a PhB admit year of 2026 or prior will be considered under this pathway." It says nothing about a 2% honours bonus arrangement for 2027+ PhB admits; the 2% standalone-honours bonus exists as a general GEMSAS rule but ANU does not publish this specific claim.). The Bachelor of Health Science pathway reservation was also lifted from up to 30 domestic places (January 2025 guidelines) to up to 40 domestic places on current ANU/GEMSAS 2027 pages.

Bachelor of Health Science (pre-medicine stream) pathway to the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD)
Weighting
Published: "Offers to the MChD program will be based on a final weighted score derived from a student's weighted average mark (40%), interview score (40%) and selection criteria responses (20%)." (Selection criteria = five written 200-word responses submitted with the pathway application.)
Seats
Up to 40 domestic BHlthSc students receive conditional MChD offers each year, with approximately 30% of these places preferentially offered to rural-background students (current ANU page and GEMSAS 2027 note of ~40 reserved places; the January 2025 pathway guidelines PDF stated up to 30 domestic, 10 preferentially rural, plus up to 20 international pathway places — current international pathway numbers not published). Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander students are considered in addition via the school's Indigenous Pathway. Bachelor of Health Science intake size itself: not published.
Eligibility
Entry to the Bachelor: minimum ATAR 90 (IB 35), no prerequisite subjects (chemistry recommended), compulsory supplementary form (2026 intake figures on ANU Programs & Courses). Pathway eligibility: minimum 72 units (12 courses) completed and on track for 96 units (16 courses) by 31 December of the application year, completed at ANU (max 1.0 FTE/48 units external credit); all compulsory 1000/2000-level courses plus the pre-medicine stream; minimum WAM 75% (best n-2 of n numerically graded courses) to be ranked for an offer; interview pass (minimum raw score 60%) required. No GAMSAT required. Final MChD offer conditional on completing the BHlthSc with minimum GPA 5.0 plus screening/vaccination requirements. Open to domestic and international students; no transfer into the BHlthSc permitted.
Bonuses
Approximately 30% of the pathway's domestic places preferentially offered to rural-background students; Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants considered in addition to the capped places via the Indigenous Pathway. No point/percentage bonuses published; standard ANU undergraduate adjustment factors apply to the initial BHlthSc admission (available from Selection Rank 70+).
Interview
Same online admissions interview as standard domestic MChD candidates, held in September: two parts with "a variety of direct and scenario-based questions"; pass mark 60% raw.
Changes
Domestic reserved places increased from up to 30 (January 2025 pathway guidelines) to up to 40 on current ANU and GEMSAS 2027-entry pages. Related feeder routes disestablished: the PhB (Bachelor of Philosophy Honours) pathway and the Tuckwell Scholarship pathway to the MChD apply only to students admitted in 2026 or earlier. No ANU-published notice that the Bachelor of Health Science pathway itself is closing was found on any primary source.
Sources: ANU — Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (BHLTH pathway) · ANU — BHLTH–MChD Pathway Guidelines (PDF, updated January 2025) · ANU Programs and Courses — Bachelor of Health Science (BHLTH) · ANU College of Science and Medicine — Bachelor of Health Science · GEMSAS — Australian National University (2027 entry) · ANU — Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD) program page
ANU has NO undergraduate direct-entry medical degree — the only routes are the graduate-entry MChD (GEMSAS domestic / direct international) and the Bachelor of Health Science pre-medicine provisional pathway. Two former provisional routes (PhB Honours pathway and Tuckwell Scholarship pathway) are officially disestablished for students admitted after 2026, per ANU's own MChD pages, so they are recorded under changes_announced rather than as live programs. ANU uses GAMSAT, not UCAT. Selection weightings are fully published for both routes (rare and valuable): MChD 50:50 GPA/GAMSAT for interview…
Bond QLD · 3 programs
Medical Program — Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) + Doctor of Medicine (MD), undergraduate (school-leaver) entry stream
Weighting
Percentage weighting NOT PUBLISHED. Bond publishes a sequential three-stage process rather than a composite score. QTAC/Bond published wording: "Applicants will be selected initially on their academic rank, followed by their psychometric test outcome and finally, their interview rank." Bond's steps: Step 1 Academic Assessment via QTAC (approx. 50% of applicants advance) → Step 2 Psychometric Test → Step 3 Interview → offers determined by interview outcome. Bond's FAQ states interviewers do not have access to applicants' ATAR, GPA or psychometric results.
Seats
Bond entry-requirements page: "Each year, up to 180 domestic places can be offered into the Medical Program for May and September semester; 80% places for undergraduate applicants and 20% to graduate applicants" (i.e. ~144 undergraduate). NOTE: Bond's Medical Program FAQ page states "up to 200 domestic places" with the same 80/20 split — the two Bond pages conflict; re-verify before publishing. All places are full-fee (private provider): 0 CSP; Bond explicitly does not participate in the Bonded Medical Places (BMP) Scheme; 0 international places in this stream ("not available to international students who intend to apply for a student visa").
Eligibility
Domestic only: Australian citizens, permanent residents, Australian humanitarian visa holders, and New Zealand citizens (NZ permanent residents excluded). Year 12 completers with no COMPLETED tertiary study — Bond's FAQ defines an undergraduate applicant as someone who has completed a High School Senior Certificate 'with, or without, incomplete tertiary studies'; only completed tertiary qualifications push an applicant into the graduate stream. (QTAC's prerequisite line reads 'No prior tertiary study', which conflicts with Bond's own more precise definition.). Minimum competitive academic result: ATAR 96+ (or OP 1-3) or IB Diploma 38+. Prerequisite: QCAA English / EAL / Literature / English & Literature Extension Units 3&4 grade C or better (interstate/IB equivalents accepted). No UCAT and no GAMSAT — Bond uses its own proctored online psychometric testing (emotional-intelligence + personality tests, ~90 min, ~$346.50 GST-incl in 2025) plus an interview.
Bonuses
Bond FAQ: "Adjustment factors cannot be used for the Bond Medical Program" — no ATAR bonus schemes. Geographic interview quota: "From 2025, the Medical Program aims to ensure that 40% of interview invitations are extended to candidates from Queensland and the Tweed community." First Nations: dedicated First Nations pathway into the Medical Program plus the Bond University First Nations Medical Partial Scholarship.
Interview
Individual online interview, approximately 90 minutes including registration and debriefing (Bond does not describe it as an MMI), assessing "general suitability to medicine and preparedness to undertake a highly demanding course". 2027-cycle interviews: 9-12 March 2027, online.
Changes
From the 2025 cycle Bond introduced the 40% Queensland/Tweed-community interview-invitation target (published on its entry-requirements page). Applications are now lodged via QTAC (codes 020712/020741) rather than direct to Bond. Psychometric results validity rule: results from test versions taken before October 2025 are no longer valid (24-month validity). No announced changes to weightings, seats or campuses beyond these.

Medical Program — Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) + Doctor of Medicine (MD), graduate entry stream (entry to Year 1 of the same program)
Weighting
Percentage weighting NOT PUBLISHED. Same published sequential process as the undergraduate stream: academic rank (GPA) shortlists for the psychometric test, psychometric outcome shortlists for interview, and "finally, their interview rank" determines offers. Interviewers are blind to GPA and psychometric results.
Seats
20% of the domestic intake: Bond entry-requirements page says up to 180 total domestic places with "20% to graduate applicants" (~36 places); FAQ page says up to 200 total — conflict between the two Bond pages, re-verify. All full-fee domestic; no CSP, no BMP, not open to international student-visa applicants.
Eligibility
Domestic only (same citizenship rules as undergraduate stream). Completed recognised tertiary study with published minimum: "Cumulative GPA of greater than 6 on a 7-point scale from a recognised tertiary program" (Bond FAQ notes at least one year full-time-equivalent study). English prerequisite as per undergraduate stream (or approved equivalents). NO GAMSAT and NO UCAT required — Bond's own psychometric test + interview instead; GAMSAT is nowhere referenced in Bond's published graduate criteria.
Bonuses
None — "Adjustment factors cannot be used for the Bond Medical Program." The 40% Queensland/Tweed-community interview-invitation target applies to the program's interview invitations; First Nations pathway and partial scholarship available.
Interview
Individual online interview, ~90 minutes (same format and same March dates as the undergraduate stream).
Medical Program — Year 2 Lateral Entry pathway (from designated Bond health degrees into Year 2 of the BMedSt)
Weighting
NOT PUBLISHED as percentages. Bond publishes the same three-stage sequence for lateral entry: academic assessment, psychometric testing, then interview; entry not guaranteed.
Seats
Approximately 25 lateral-entry places (Bond FAQ figure for 2025); "entry is not guaranteed". Full-fee; open to BOTH domestic and international students (this is the only Bond medicine route open to international students). No CSP/BMP.
Eligibility
Graduates of designated Bond University programs only: Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Pre-Health Professional major), Master of Occupational Therapy, Doctor of Physiotherapy, Master of Nutrition and Dietetic Practice, or Master of Healthcare Innovations (where an equivalent Biomedical Science degree was completed first), with a minimum GPA of 3.00 out of 4.00 on the Bond grading scale. GAMSAT explicitly NOT required; no UCAT. Selection is competitive, not automatic.
Bonuses
None published for this pathway (Bond states adjustment factors cannot be used for the Medical Program).
Interview
Online interview (same Bond Medical Program interview process; Bond does not publish a distinct lateral-entry format).
Key structural facts for the site: (1) Bond is Australia's private-provider medical school — there are NO Commonwealth Supported Places and Bond explicitly does not participate in the Bonded Medical Places (BMP) scheme; every place is full-fee domestic (standard entry) with FEE-HELP available only up to the combined loan limit (Bond FAQ cites the 2025 combined FEE-HELP limit of $182,172, far below total program cost — exact tuition figures could not be extracted from the fees tab and should be pulled manually before publishing). (2) Bond requires NEITHER UCAT nor GAMSAT for any route — its ow…

Bachelor of Medical Science (Pathway to Medicine) (CM17) → UQ Doctor of Medicine (Regional Medical Pathway) — provisional entry for school leavers
Weighting
PUBLISHED (CQU CM17 Entry & Admission document, July 2026). Interview shortlisting: 'Invitation to interview (MMI) will be based on the ranking of the UCAT ANZ aggregate score' (Section 4 score is the secondary differentiator, Section 1 the tertiary), applied within the rurality tiers. Offers: applicants 'will be required to obtain a minimum MMI score (usually 40/80)' and 'will be ranked in merit order using their "final score" which comprises ATAR (25%), UCAT ANZ (25%) and MMI score (50%)', with MMI score as tiebreaker and the tiered system (Tier 1 first) applied to offers.
Seats
Pathway capacity published as 'up to 60 students per year' across Rockhampton + Bundaberg (CQU/UQ partnership announcement). Rockhampton-vs-Bundaberg split: not published. CSP-vs-BMP numeric split: not published — CQU states '28.5% of the Medical Pathways cohorts are required to be on the Bonded Medical Program' (the federal BMP quota rate); the balance are Commonwealth supported. International: not available (domestic pathway only).
Eligibility
Hard gates per CQU's CM17 Entry & Admission document (July 2026): (a) Australian or NZ citizen, Australian permanent resident, or permanent humanitarian visa holder; (b) completed Grade 12 at first attempt in the year of application (school leavers only; deferment of commencement not permitted); (c) prerequisites: English (Units 3&4, C), Mathematical Methods (Units 3&4, C), and one of Biology/Chemistry/Physics (Units 3&4, C); (d) adjusted ATAR 95.00 or higher (or equivalent selection rank); (e) UCAT ANZ sat in the year of application; (f) attend MMI if selected. A tiered rurality system governs both interview invitation and offers: Tier 1 = candidates from the Medical Pathways footprints (MM2-7 in CQ/Wide Bay), Tier 2 = other regional/rural (MM2-7) Queensland, Tier 3 = other regional/rural (MM2-7) rest of Australia, Tier 4 = all other candidates — the Entry & Admission PDF defines it slightly differently at each stage: for INTERVIEW invitation 'All other candidates, with 50% from Queensland', and for OFFERS 'All other candidates, including MM1'. Progression to the UQ MD requires gaining admission in the year of the provisional offer, completing the CQU degree in minimum time and passing all units; The exact quote 'within three years and with a Grade Point Average of 5.0 or more' appears on the QTAC course listings (all six codes), not the CQU course page (which currently has no GPA statement). The CQU Handbook (CM17) states the GPA part only: 'Upon successful completion of the course with a Grade Point Average of 5.0 or more, you will gain direct entry...'. Substance is verified; the attribution should cite QTAC listings and the CQU Handbook. Note the July 2026 Entry & Admission PDF itself specifies only minimum-time completion + pass all units, with no GPA.. Alternative Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Admission Pathway is open to school leavers AND mature-age applicants (semi-structured interview panel; prerequisite subjects at panel discretion for mature-age).
Bonuses
QTAC-administered adjustments, maximum 5 across all schemes (per the Entry & Admission document). As published on CQU's 'Regional Medical Pathway in Detail' page: Rural Access Scheme — 2 points for rural background (Modified Monash Model) or 3 points for rural background within Central Queensland/Wide Bay (residence 10 years cumulative or 5 consecutive); CQ/Wide Bay Schooling Adjustment — 3 points for permanent residence plus Years 11–12 completed in CQ/Wide Bay; Subject Incentive Scheme — 2 points for a Language other than English (Units 3&4, C+), 2 points for Specialist Mathematics (Units 3&4, C+); Start Uni Now (SUN) units — max 1 point. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Admission Pathway runs as a separate scheme (semi-structured interview based, selection on recommendation of CQU's Indigenous Engagement Division).
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI), minimum score usually 40/80, worth 50% of the final offer score. The Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander pathway uses a semi-structured interview panel plus MMI. Most recent published MMI dates were 25–27 November (held in the application year).
Changes
Partnership renewed for another five years (announced June 2024 by CQU/UQ). UQ announced (March 2025) a target to increase First Nations doctors in Central Queensland. The RMP model is also being replicated as the separate Darling Downs–South West Medical Pathway (UQ/UniSQ) — a distinct program, not a change to this one. Weighting/quota/campuses are indeed unchanged, but the statement misses the material structural change reflected in the 2027-entry course documents: the pathway is now presented as SIX years total, with CM17's third year embedding UQ MD year 1 (CQU course page for Term 1 2027 and CQU Handbook), replacing the original 3+4 = 7-year description that still appears on older CQU/QTAC pages. This parallels UQ's new 6-year BMedSc/MD vertical dual program announced for 2027 entry (a separate metro program, but the same shortened structure).

Doctor of Medicine (MD) — graduate entry via the Central Queensland–Wide Bay Regional Medical Pathway preference (University of Queensland)
Weighting
PUBLISHED (UQ/GEMSAS): selection for interview is based on a '50:50 combination of the unweighted average GAMSAT score and the assessed GPA (converted to a percentage)' — UQ uses 'an unweighted GAMSAT score (an average of the three sections)'. Applicants preferencing the CQ-WB RMP 'will be ranked for those pathways first and within each tier (Tier 1 first, followed by Tier 2, then Tier 3)'; those not ranked for a regional pathway are then considered for the Greater Brisbane pathway. After interview, eligible applicants are ranked by tier and merit order; 'if applicants have the same final score, the MMI score will be used as a tiebreaker'. Non-bonded places are offered first, followed by bonded medical places (BMP). A numeric weighting for the MMI in the final ranking is not published.
Seats
Regional-pathway-specific graduate quota: not published. UQ MD 2027 intake overall (GEMSAS Admissions Guide listing): Graduate CSP 107, Graduate BMP 43, International (including UQ-Ochsner) 190; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander entry has no set quota. UQ also states 28.5% of places are offered to rural-background students per government quota.
Eligibility
Completed (or final-year) bachelor 'key degree' of at least 3 years full-time at AQF Level 7 or above; minimum UQ-equivalent GPA 5.0/7.0 in the key degree; GAMSAT with a minimum score of 50 in each section (scores below 50 in any section are ineligible; MCAT accepted via the direct-to-UQ route); no subject prerequisites; domestic and international applicants eligible. CQ-WB RMP tier definitions: Tier 1 — resided in Central Queensland or Wide Bay for 5 consecutive years or 10 years cumulatively; Tier 2 — resided in any rural location in Australia for 5 consecutive years or 10 years cumulatively; Tier 3 — any other interested applicant.
Bonuses
Rural background: 'UQ awards two adjustments to the unweighted average GAMSAT score to assist rural background applicants in being more competitive for non-bonded places', plus the 28.5% rural-background quota. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander admission scheme (no set quota). No other published adjustment schemes found for graduate entry.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) — 'several interview stations, each with a single interviewer', conducted online (September 2026 for Round 2 of the 2027 intake; Round 1 interviews around July 2026). Interview invitation accepted via the GEMSAS portal, booked directly with UQ.
Changes
For 2027 intake per UQ pages: two application rounds (Round 1 closed 8 June 2026, Round 2 closes 14 August 2026). No announced changes to the CQ-WB regional pathway itself found; the Darling Downs–South West Medical Pathway operates as a parallel regional preference.
Scope and route map: CQUniversity has no standalone medical degree — its only route into medicine is the Regional Medical Pathway (RMP), a CQU/UQ/Qld Health partnership. Routes covered: (1) the school-leaver provisional pathway (CQU CM17 Bachelor of Medical Science (Pathway to Medicine) with a provisional offer of the UQ MD, all 7 years in Rockhampton/Bundaberg regions), including its Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sub-pathway (QTAC 888002/888003, also open to mature-age applicants); and (2) graduate entry to the UQ MD with a CQ-WB RMP preference via GEMSAS. There is NO undergraduate d…

Weighting
PUBLISHED, two-stage (domestic). Interview shortlisting: "Applicants are ranked and selected for interview based on the weighted sum of their academic merit score (ATAR or equivalent), their Casper Test score, and their UCAT ANZ score (out of 2700) in the ratio of 35:35:30." Final offers: "Applicants will be ranked for offers based on a weighted combination of their academic merit score (actual ATAR or equivalent), UCAT ANZ score (out of 2700) and interview performance in the ratio 40:20:40" — i.e. Casper counts only at shortlisting and drops out of the offer ranking. International: "Applicants will be ranked for an offer based on their academic merit score (actual ATAR or equivalent) and their interview performance in the ratio of 40:60" (no UCAT/Casper). Personal statements, testimonials, references, awards are explicitly NOT considered.
Seats
Domestic: "In 2027 approximately 110 places will be available" (2027 Domestic Admissions Guide). CSP/BMP split not published by Curtin — the guide cites only the national policy figure that "approximately 28% of Commonwealth Supported Places in university medical programs across Australia are set aside for the Federal Government's Bonded Medical Program". Up to 25% of places allocated to the Rural entry pathway. Domestic full-fee: not offered/not published. International: "10 to 15 International full-fee paying places available for the 2027 intake" (2027 International Admissions Guide); indicative Year 1 international fee AUD $100,782.
Eligibility
School leavers (primary target): minimum ATAR 95 (or equivalent Year 12), no prior post-secondary/higher-degree record. Non-school leavers (graduates): completed degree with minimum notional ATAR 92 (guide: Bachelor at Distinction average; Grad Dip/PG Dip Credit average; Master's/Doctorate awarded) — enters the same 5-year MBBS, no graduate-entry MD exists. Curtin course switchers: minimum CWA 80, ≥200 credits completed and ≥200 remaining. Prerequisite: Chemistry ATAR final scaled score ≥50 (or IB Chemistry HL/SL grade 4+, NCEA L3 Chemistry 24 credits, or two first-year university chemistry units at 60+; bridging units not accepted). UCAT ANZ required + Casper test required (domestic) — both exempt for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway applicants and both NOT required for international applicants. STAT not accepted (English competency only). Domestic = Australian citizens, PRs, NZ citizens; BMP restricted to Australian citizens/PRs (NZ citizens ineligible). Degree is "primarily for Western Australian school leavers"; interstate applicants eligible but WA rural/Indigenous/equity candidates prioritised. Rural pathway: WA/NT/SA applicants with MM2-7 background (10 years cumulative or any 5 consecutive since Year 1). Applicants excluded from another medical school are ineligible; incomplete degrees from other institutions ineligible. International academic minima include ATAR 95 / IB 39 / GCE A-levels 14; IELTS 7.0 in all bands.
Bonuses
Rural entry pathway (WA/NT/SA rural background, MM2-7): up to 25% of places quarantined, plus "up to a maximum of five additional adjustment points to their ATAR, or Notional ATAR" via the CMS Rural adjustment scheme OR Curtin StepUp (one scheme only, max adjusted ATAR 99.95). Equity entry pathway (WA school leavers eligible for Curtin StepUp — qualifying schools list or financial hardship): StepUp Bonus "adjusts eligible applicant's ATAR by five points, up to a maximum of 99.95"; equity applicants compete only against other equity applicants. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander entry pathway: direct application to CMS, no TISC, UCAT and Casper both waived; selection via Formal Yarning Session with the Aboriginal Health Team then MMI. Special consideration only via TISC's Educational Access Scheme (EAS). No elite-athlete, research-degree or health-employment bonuses published.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI); primarily face-to-face in Perth with limited online interviews (e.g. interstate/overseas). Rounds: December round covers 'Competitive and eligible Western Australian school leavers, Curtin course switchers and Western Australian non-school leavers' (Predicted ATAR used for the WA school leavers only), MMIs 3 and 7 December 2026 (subject to change)., mid-January (actual-ATAR competitive WA applicants holding Curtin first preference at 28 Dec, MMI 7 Jan 2027), late January (non-WA applicants, online, 22 Jan 2027). Attendance mandatory. International applicants: interview (may be conducted online via Microsoft Teams, up to an hour); The 2027 International Admissions Guide's Key dates section explicitly says 'Invitations for Multiple Mini interviews — July for July/August interviews (subject to change)', so Curtin does label the international interview an MMI (the body text just calls it 'the interview', conducted online via Microsoft Teams up to an hour)..

Curtin has exactly ONE route into medicine: the 5-year direct-entry undergraduate MBBS — the only direct-entry medical degree in WA. There is NO graduate-entry/postgraduate MD (Curtin is not in GEMSAS and does not use GAMSAT) and NO provisional/assured school-leaver-to-MD pathway, so no separate entries were created. Graduates CAN apply, but into the same undergraduate MBBS via a 'non-school leaver (graduate)' pathway (notional ATAR 92, internal calculation not disclosed to applicants, Postgraduate Casper variant) — worth flagging on the site because it functions as Curtin's only graduate rou…

Deakin offers exactly ONE route into medicine: the 4-year graduate-entry Doctor of Medicine (H911). There is NO undergraduate/direct school-leaver medicine degree and NO provisional/assured school-leaver pathway into the MD — Deakin's 'Undergraduate Medicine Course Guide' marketing material is pathway advice (do any bachelor, then apply to the MD), not a program; the closest published concessions to a pathway are the 4% 'Deakin study' adjustment for Deakin graduates and the Deakin Guaranteed ATAR access scheme, which applies to feeder bachelor degrees, not medicine itself.

Published (2027 guide): "Applicants will be selected for a place in the MD, based on their overall selection rank calculated using the following, which are equally weighted: Interview score (interview must be passed); wGPA from most recent Bachelor degree; GAMSAT overall score." (i.e. one-third each). Interview SHORTLISTING is by overall GAMSAT score within eligible sub-quotas: "Shortlisting for interview is on the basis of an applicant's overall GAMSAT score and their overall ranking in comparison with other applicants for the sub-quotas/priorities they are eligible for." GAMSAT overall = (1 x Section I) + (1 x Section II) + (2 x Section III) / 4. wGPA uses the last 3 FTE years weighted 3:2:1 (most recent to earliest; last 2.5 years if completing in 2026); wGPA calculated only for applicants who pass the interview.

Published (CDU): "Your UCAT derived score (10%) will be combined with your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) (90%) to determine your ranking for a place on this course."
Seats
12 places annually per CDU's published quota: 5 NT resident, 5 NT First Nations, 2 national First Nations
Eligibility
Australian citizens and permanent residents only. School leavers with Year 12 (or higher-education students with no more than one year of study). Competitive ATAR stated as 90 or above (85 or above for First Nations applicants), after applicable adjustment factors. UCAT ANZ required. Progression: "required to pass all units and gain a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 5.00 (Credit Average)" in the first two years, within the specified time frame, which "guarantees entry into the NTMP".
Bonuses
First Nations applicants: lower competitive ATAR threshold (85 vs 90) and dedicated quota places (5 NT + 2 national First Nations of the 12). ATAR adjustment factors apply via SATAC; sizes not published.
Interview
None published for entry to the Bachelor of Clinical Sciences (selection is ATAR + UCAT ranking).
Key structural facts for the pack: (1) Flinders' graduate MD is NOT a GEMSAS school — applications go directly to Flinders via its own online application system ($160 fee), one application covering Bedford Park, SARM (Renmark/Mt Gambier) and Darwin NTMP preferences. (2) The published graduate selection formula is unusually explicit: interview, wGPA and GAMSAT overall are "equally weighted" (1/3 each), with interview shortlisting driven by overall GAMSAT (S3 double-weighted: (SI+SII+2xSIII)/4) within sub-quotas, and the interview must be passed.

English language: IELTS 7.0 overall (7.0 L/R/S, 6.5 W) or equivalents for applicants from non-recognised-country study. Domestic applicants preference place type (non-bonded CSP / BMP) and campus at application; preferences considered but not guaranteed as quotas apply.
Bonuses
First Peoples Health Pathway: GAMSAT not required and GUMSAA not required for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants with GPA ≥5.0; culturally appropriate panel interview (GUMURRII Student Success Unit / Office of DVC Indigenous / Griffith Health); $20,000 Doctor of Medicine First Peoples Scholarship over the degree. Griffith University Rural Priority Access Scheme (GURPAS): competitive applicants with rural background MM2–MM7 (5 consecutive or 10 cumulative years since birth, Modified Monash 2019) given priority access to reserved CSPs — proportion not published. No published GPA/GAMSAT point bonuses for higher degrees; PhD handled via GPA rules (completed PhD = GPA 7.0), Masters by Research graded 7.0 for research component — these are GPA-calculation rules, not bonuses.
Interview
GUMSAA (Griffith University Multiple Station Admissions Assessment) — scenario-based multiple-station interview assessing communication, empathy and ethics, reflection, problem-solving, teamwork, decision-making; delivered ONLINE via the SAMMI system, tentatively 21–25 September 2026; candidates ranked solely on interview performance (questions not provided in advance).
Changes
NEW for 2027: Toowoomba teaching location — 10 new federal-government-granted non-bonded CSPs establishing an end-to-end rural stream (2 pre-clinical years delivered at Toowoomba), with subsidised accommodation for all 4 years; students who accept Gold Coast/Sunshine Coast offers will be invited in early November 2026 to be considered, with top-up offers via GEMSAS if places remain.
Bachelor of Medical Science (Griffith MD provisional entry for school leavers) — Griffith-hosted
Weighting
Published: ATAR is the primary selection method; "UCAT ANZ scores are used for second-order ranking within ATAR bands" (Total Score only — the 3 cognitive subtests, 900–2700; no situational judgement). "Applicants without a UCAT ANZ result will still be considered; however, ranked lower within their band." No percentage weighting exists. Published 2026-cycle outcomes: Gold Coast minimum adjusted ATAR 99.90, with a minimum UCAT Total Score of 2240 used as second-order differentiator (not all 99.90 applicants offered); Nathan minimum 99.95 with all applicants in that band offered; 2023–2025 minimums ranged 99.80–99.90.
Seats
30 places at Gold Coast + 30 places at Brisbane South (Nathan) (published on Griffith's Pathways to Medicine page). These feed the 80 BMedSci-pathway places reserved within the MD's CSP/BMP totals (28.5% BMP per GEMSAS). CSP/BMP split of the BMedSci intake itself: not published.
Eligibility
Currently in Year 12 or completed Year 12 within the past year, with NO prior tertiary study at diploma level or higher; English language proficiency; assumed knowledge (not assessable per Griffith): General English, Mathematical Methods, and one of Biology/Chemistry/Physics (QTAC listings show these at Units 3 & 4, C). UCAT ANZ optional but strongly recommended. Progression to MD requires completing the BMedSci with GPA ≥5.5 — then guaranteed MD admission with NO GAMSAT and NO GUMSAA interview.
Bonuses
ATAR adjustments of up to 0.25 total based on location, rurality, Educational Access Scheme (EAS), and/or the Elite Athlete Support Policy. Rural applicants (MM2–MM7, assessed rural by QTAC) receive a published 0.05 ATAR/Rank adjustment. First Peoples Health Pathway available for Year 12 students (culturally appropriate process; details via GUMURRII).
Interview
None — no interview for BMedSci entry, and the guaranteed transition to the MD also waives GUMSAA.
Bachelor of Medical Science (UniSC — Griffith MD provisional entry)
Weighting
Published: ATAR/rank is primary; the UCAT ANZ Total Score is used as a second-order differentiator within ATAR bands (applicants without UCAT ranked at the bottom of their band). UniSC states: "Adjustment factors do not apply to this program. All ATAR/ranks listed represent the minimum unadjusted score." Published 2026 (Trimester 1, 15 Jan offer round) thresholds: main entry 99.90 unadjusted (not all 99.90 applicants offered; UCAT differentiated); Rural Access Scheme minimum considered 99.30; Regional Health Workforce Scheme minimum considered 99.30. No percentage weighting exists.
Seats
Capped at 20 annually per the QTAC listing (CSP; program is domestic-only). These places sit within the 80 BMedSci-pathway places reserved in the Griffith MD intake (28.5% BMP per GEMSAS).
Eligibility
Current or recent Year 12 (within one year) with no prior tertiary study; domestic students only; General English recommended. UCAT ANZ optional (used for ranking). Progression to the Griffith MD requires a minimum GPA of 5.50 in the BMedSci — eligible graduates get direct admission without GAMSAT or GUMSAA.
Bonuses
No ATAR adjustment factors apply (explicitly published by UniSC; Access UniSC and QTAC EAS do not apply). Instead, limited sub-quota places at a lower published threshold (99.30 in 2026) via the Rural Access Scheme, the Regional Health Workforce Scheme (local-area residents), and an Indigenous medical access pathway.
Interview
None — no interview for entry, and the transition to the Griffith MD waives GUMSAA.
Griffith has NO standalone undergraduate medicine degree — the only routes are the 4-year graduate MD (GEMSAS) and two provisional school-leaver pathways: Griffith's own 2-year intensive Bachelor of Medical Science (Gold Coast 30 + Nathan 30 places, guarantee into the Gold Coast MD at GPA 5.5) and UniSC's 3-year Bachelor of Medical Science (QTAC 013231, ~20 places, guarantee into the Sunshine Coast MD stream at GPA 5.5). Both pathway cohorts bypass GAMSAT and GUMSAA entirely. Verification notes: (1) all MD selection wording was taken verbatim from the GEMSAS 2027 Griffith page, cross-checked …
JCU QLD · 1 program
Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)
Weighting
Not published as numeric weights. JCU's published wording: 'Applicants will be evaluated based on the following elements: Academic performance in Year 12 studies and/or in tertiary studies; Participation in an interview, demonstrating attributes suited to a career in medicine; Rurality.' Interview shortlisting: 'Applicants are separated and considered in different pools. Within these pools, applicants are selected for interview based on their academic achievements' (school leavers ranked on PAA or actual ATAR; non-school leavers on GPA). Holistic assessment: 'Academic results (such as ATAR or GPA) are only one factor considered, alongside other criteria that may vary year to year... An applicant's location and connection to regional areas may be considered as part of the assessment, however this does not outweigh overall merit. There is no fixed quota for regional or metropolitan students, and school type is not considered.' Medicine applicants do NOT submit written statements or letters of support (unlike JCU Dentistry/Vet).
Seats
Domestic: 'In 2027, JCU has approximately 170 places across both Townsville and Cairns for the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery course for domestic applicants' (2026 comparison: approximately 180). CSP vs Bonded Medical Program (BMP) split: not published — JCU confirms BMP places exist ('applicants cannot request the type of place they may be offered') but publishes no numbers. Per-campus split: not published. Full-fee domestic: not offered/not published. International places: not published. Rural Access Scheme reserved places: number not published.
Eligibility
NO UCAT and NO GAMSAT — JCU's published wording: 'JCU does not use the University Clinical Aptitude Test (UCAT) or Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) as part of the selection process. Applicants who sit these tests receive no advantage or improved consideration.' Prerequisite subjects (must be completed BEFORE an offer; no conditional offers): English (Units 3/4, C), Mathematical Methods (Units 3/4, C), Chemistry (Units 3/4, C); Specialist Maths satisfies Maths Methods; any QLD Year 12 English satisfies English; JCU Prep bridging can meet prerequisites for those who have finished Year 12. No set ATAR threshold for domestic school leavers ('JCU does not have set ATAR thresholds for entry to Medicine'). Non-school leavers (finished school >2 years ago and/or ≥1 FTE tertiary study) MUST have ≥1 FTE of bachelor-level-or-higher tertiary study within the last 10 years; minimum unweighted GPA 5.75/7 'to be considered competitive' (not a guarantee); most recent GPA weighted highest but entire academic profile considered; 'consideration is given for studies in health'. International applicants: published 2027 minimum competitive scores include ATAR 94, IB 38, GCE A-Levels 15, tertiary GPA 5.75/7, SAT 1360/ACT 31; English proficiency Band 3b of the JCU Admissions Policy. Domestic = Australian/NZ citizens, permanent residents, permanent humanitarian visa or Pacific Engagement Visa holders. Year 12 domestic applicants must have a school official submit a Prediction of Academic Achievement (PAA) form (used only to schedule first-round interviews; offers based on actual results only). Inherent requirements apply; Blue Card and vaccinations required post-offer.
Bonuses
No score adjustments: 'ATAR or selection rank adjustment programs including the Regional Preference Scheme, Educational Access Scheme and Subject Adjustment Scheme are not available for Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science applicants.' Instead, two published entry schemes: (1) QTAC Rural Access Scheme — reserved places (number not published) for applicants who lived in a designated rural/remote area of anywhere in Australia for at least 5 consecutive years (60 months) or 10 years cumulatively (120 months); all JCU medicine applicants are automatically invited to apply (QTAC cover sheet + documentary evidence; closes 29 September 2026). (2) Indigenous Selection Pathway — designated recruitment and selection pathway for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants; requires QTAC + JCU applications plus an endorsed Confirmation of Indigenous status letter (issued, signed and sealed by an incorporated Indigenous community organisation) emailed to indigenoushealthpathway@jcu.edu.au. Rurality is also a stated element of the main selection process (no size published).
Interview
Online live panel interview via the Kira Talent platform. Domestic: 'Panels typically include a health practitioner, an academic staff member and a member of the community.' International: live with two panel members. Not an MMI. Two domestic rounds, both before any offers: Round 1 invites 6 November 2026, interviews 24 November – 1 December 2026; Round 2 invites 21 December 2026, interviews 6–7 January 2027 (second round covers applicants whose PAA was inaccurate or missing). Interviewees pay Kira Talent a platform fee (approx. USD $20 plus tax, current as at February 2026). Interview assesses 'attributes suited to a career in medicine'; JCU publishes no question guidance.
Changes
No announced changes to selection criteria or weighting for the 2027 cycle. Context officially published by JCU: the full 6-year MBBS in Cairns is now established (inaugural Cairns first-year cohort commenced 2023, backed by a Federal Government commitment of $13.2m for 20 Commonwealth Supported Places for the Cairns program, announced March 2022); the Yeinie Building clinical training facility adjacent to Cairns Hospital opened in early 2026. Published domestic places moved from approximately 180 (2026 intake) to approximately 170 (2027 intake) — both figures are JCU's own 'approximately' wording, not an announced cut. Note for graduate applicants: JCU offers NO graduate-entry MD and no provisional/assured school-leaver pathway — graduates apply to the same MBBS as non-school leavers (limited study credit may be available after an offer).

JCU is one of only two Australian medical schools (with UNSW-adjacent exceptions aside) that uses NEITHER UCAT nor GAMSAT — selection is academic results + its own online panel interview + rurality, with an explicit published statement that sitting UCAT/GAMSAT confers no advantage. There is exactly ONE route into medicine at JCU: the 6-year undergraduate MBBS at Townsville and Cairns. No graduate-entry MD (JCU is not in GEMSAS for medicine), no provisional/assured pathway, and no conditional/provisional offers of any kind ('There are no provisional/conditional offers made for our medicine pro…

Doctor of Medicine (Macquarie MD)
Weighting
Published by Macquarie: "Ranking and selection of applicants for interview is based on: 50 per cent weighted GPA; 50 per cent GAMSAT/MCAT." and "Ranking and selection of applicants for an offer is based on: 50 per cent weighted GPA; 50 per cent Multiple Mini Interview (MMI)." (GEMSAS lists the same: interview = 50% weighted GPA + 50% GAMSAT (MCAT for internationals outside Australia); offer = 50% GPA + 50% MMI.)
Seats
Per GEMSAS (2027 admission): 60 full-fee domestic places and 20 international places. No CSP and no BMP (bonded) places — the Macquarie MD is entirely full-fee (domestic fee-paying estimated at AUD $85,900/year on the 2026 course page).
Eligibility
Completed bachelor degree (qualifications must have been completed within 10 years of intended enrolment); minimum weighted GPA 5.0/7.0 (WAM 65); GAMSAT minimum 50 overall AND minimum 50 in each section, sat within 4 years of intended enrolment. International applicants residing outside Australia may submit MCAT instead of GAMSAT; international applicants residing in Australia must submit GAMSAT (IELTS 7.0 overall / 7.0 each band or equivalent). Indigenous Australian Pathway: GAMSAT submission is optional, minimum weighted GPA 5.0/7.0 still required, application individually assessed by faculty with Walanga Muru. No subject prerequisites — human anatomy and human physiology are assumed knowledge only. Deferral of offers is not granted.
Bonuses
Adjustment Factor Scheme — an automatic 3 per cent adjustment to weighted GPA for: (1) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians (domestic), (2) rural applicants (domestic), (3) Macquarie University Bachelor of Clinical Science graduates (domestic and international). Maximum 5 per cent adjustment if an applicant belongs to two or more categories. Additionally, up to 30 MMI places are reserved for Macquarie Bachelor of Clinical Science graduates who would not otherwise have received an interview offer (unverified — do not publish as fact. Published wording is only: 'Up to 30 interview places will be reserved for Macquarie University Bachelor of Clinical Science graduates / final year students' (GEMSAS) and 'Up to 30 Macquarie Mini Interview (MMI) places are made available for Bachelor of Clinical Science graduates who may not have otherwise received an interview offer' (Macquarie). Neither source publishes a 'guaranteed interview' or a 'top-30 GEMSAS-ranked' selection mechanism), plus up to 5 BClinSci graduate scholarships.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). Domestic applicants: face-to-face MMI on Saturday 26 September 2026 (2027 entry). International applicants: modified MMI by videoconference (must be available June, August and October).
Changes
Published on Macquarie's admission page: prerequisites in human anatomy and human physiology are no longer required for admission (now assumed knowledge). The 2026-onwards course page also advertises an optional 'GP Intensive Stream' within the MD, created to address GP workforce shortages. No CSP or BMP allocation has been announced by the university or GEMSAS — the program remains full-fee.

Bachelor of Clinical Science (domestic indirect pathway to the Macquarie MD)
Weighting
Bachelor entry: ATAR/selection rank via UAC (90 in 2026). MD stage: standard Macquarie MD weighting applies (interview selection 50% weighted GPA + 50% GAMSAT; offers 50% weighted GPA + 50% MMI), with the BClinSci advantages listed under bonuses.
Seats
Not published for the Bachelor of Clinical Science. (The downstream MD has 60 full-fee domestic places per GEMSAS 2027.)
Eligibility
Selection rank 90 (2026 course page) via UAC; Commonwealth Supported Place for the bachelor (estimated AUD $11,100/year, 2026). IMPORTANT: this is explicitly described by Macquarie as an 'indirect' pathway — 'Separate admission requirements apply for each course', and graduates must still meet all MD minimums (weighted GPA 5.0/7.0, GAMSAT 50 overall and 50 per section) and apply through GEMSAS. There is no guaranteed or provisional MD place for domestic students.
Bonuses
Published advantages for BClinSci graduates applying to the Macquarie MD: automatic 3 per cent bonus to weighted GPA; up to 30 MMI (interview) places reserved for BClinSci graduates who would not otherwise have received an interview — the course page states top-30 GEMSAS-admissions-ranked BClinSci students who meet minimum MD entry requirements are 'guaranteed an interview for the MD'; up to 5 graduate scholarships.
Interview
None for bachelor entry (UAC rank only). MD stage uses the standard Macquarie MMI.
Bachelor of Clinical Science / Doctor of Medicine (Macquarie MD) combined package — INTERNATIONAL applicants only
Weighting
Not published as percentages. Published components: secondary school results (competitive) + online MMI + English requirement; progression to the MD is criterion-based (WAM 70 overall and WAM 70 in professional practice units), not re-ranked.
Seats
Not published — Macquarie states only that 'Entry is competitive and this program package has a set quota for places.' (The MD itself has 20 international places per GEMSAS 2027.)
Eligibility
International high-school graduates only (no domestic equivalent). Selection requirements published by Macquarie: competitive secondary school results (a minimum final examination mark equivalence applies — exact threshold in the International Admissions Guide); satisfactory performance in an online Multiple Mini Interview; IELTS 7.0 overall with minimum 7.0 in each band (or equivalent); assumed knowledge of mathematics and chemistry (bridging available if not completed). Conditional automatic progression into the MD — without GAMSAT/MCAT or further selection — requires: holding an unconditional place in the combined package, completion of the Bachelor of Clinical Science with a minimum WAM of 70, and a minimum WAM of 70 in the professional practice units.
Bonuses
None published for package entry. (BClinSci graduates who instead apply to the MD in open competition receive the 3 per cent weighted-GPA adjustment, which Macquarie states applies to domestic and international BClinSci graduates.)
Interview
Online Multiple Mini Interview comprising four short interview stations of a maximum of eight minutes each.
Macquarie has NO undergraduate (direct school-leaver) medical degree and no UCAT requirement for any route — the MD is graduate-entry only. Key structural facts: (1) The Macquarie MD is Australia's only fully full-fee domestic medical program — GEMSAS 2027 lists 60 full-fee domestic + 20 international places, zero CSP and zero BMP; domestic fee estimated AUD $85,900/yr (2026 course page). (2) Selection weighting is fully published and unusually GPA-heavy: GAMSAT drops out after interview selection (interview ranking 50% weighted GPA + 50% GAMSAT/MCAT; offer ranking 50% weighted GPA + 50% MMI)…

GEMSAS 2027 guide states: for applicants who commence undergraduate study after January 2027, 'the details of the Guaranteed Full Fee Entry pathway... will be confirmed later in 2026' — i.e. the ATAR-99.00 full-fee guarantee as currently described applies only to students who commenced undergraduate study before January 2027; replacement terms not yet published.
Doctor of Medicine (MD) — Rural Pathway (open rural graduate stream)
Weighting
Published (study.unimelb.edu.au + 2026 Handbook): shortlisting for the rural-focused MMI is on GPA alone; 'Final selection into the course for rural pathway applicants will be made on the basis of a combined ranked list where the interview will contribute 70%, the GPA will contribute 30%.'

Interview shortlisting differs by round: December round (DRL applicants nationwide + Victorian-based non-DRL) 'based on UCAT ANZ total score only'; January second/third rounds based on 'an equally-weighted combination of ATAR aggregate (including adjustment factors) and UCAT ANZ total score'. International: 'three components; Year 12 (or equivalent) results, completion of the International Student Admissions Test (ISAT) and a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). All three components are weighted equally', with interview selection on ISAT results only.
Seats
Approximately 234 domestic students accepted each year at Clayton, all admitted on Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP); 30 of these places held for the Extended Rural Cohort (ERC, all CSP); 'approximately 28.5% of all domestic places must be set aside as Bonded Medical Places (BMP)' per Federal Government advice. Minimum 27% of all domestic places reserved for Dean's Rural List applicants. Approximately 90 international students are accepted into the direct entry medicine program at Clayton campus each year (published on Monash's international direct-entry page, last updated 29 April 2026).
Eligibility
Only open to applicants who completed Year 12 (or equivalent) no more than two years prior to commencement and have NOT commenced any tertiary study (Certificate IV and above makes you ineligible — such applicants must use graduate entry). Minimum ATAR 90 (final cut-offs significantly higher). Prerequisites: VCE Units 3&4 English (study score 35 EAL / 30 English other than EAL) and Chemistry (study score 30); IB minimum 39 overall with English (5 SL/4 HL or English B 6 SL/5 HL) and Chemistry (5 SL/4 HL). Biology not required. UCAT ANZ compulsory for all domestic applicants (sit in 2026 for 2027 entry); situational judgement subtest used only as a tie-break between equal total scores. International applicants sit ISAT instead: minimum overall 170 with at least 165 in both Critical Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning (2027-intake interview cut-off was overall 178). Domestic = Australian/NZ citizen, permanent resident, or permanent humanitarian visa holder. Applicants may attend the MMI only once, ever.
Bonuses
Dean's Rural List (DRL): minimum 27% of domestic places reserved for applicants with Australian rural background (principal home address in MM2-MM7 for 5 consecutive or 10 cumulative years); DRL applicants had a much lower December-interview UCAT cut-off (2026 intake: 2050/66th percentile vs 2380/94th percentile non-DRL Victorian). Equity schemes (SEAS): ATAR-related adjustments up to 20 aggregate points (up to 10 ATAR points) at Monash, feeding directly into the ATAR-aggregate selection component; categories include Indigenous Australian, low-SES/regional location, non-English speaking background, first in family, difficult life circumstances, financial hardship, disability. Indigenous Entry Scheme: Indigenous Australian applicants are exempt from competitive ranking — an all-Indigenous panel interview replaces both the UCAT ANZ and the MMI. Extended Rural Cohort: 30 CSP places under a separate VTAC code, open to rural or urban background, no return-of-service obligation.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI), conducted online via Zoom: six sequential 10-minute stations (2 min reading + 8 min interview) assessing advocacy, collaboration, critical thinking, empathy, ethical reasoning, motivation and resilience; circuit 70-80 minutes — this six-station format applies to DOMESTIC applicants; international applicants sit a four-station MMI (same seven attributes, held on Zoom; main round 21–22 July 2026, VTAC-route 19 November 2026). Interview rounds: December (DRL 1-2 Dec 2026; Victorian non-DRL 8-9 Dec 2026), January second round (4-5 Jan 2027), January third round for interstate/overseas Year 12 (18-19 Jan 2027). Applicants may sit the MMI once only. Indigenous Entry Scheme applicants do a panel interview instead.

Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) — Graduate Entry (M6018)
Weighting
Published. 'The selection process for graduate entry medicine at Churchill (Gippsland) consists of two components: undergraduate Weighted Average Mark (WAM), weighted at 40%; and, a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI), weighted at 60%.' Interview shortlisting is on WAM alone ('Interview offers are based on course WAM at 11 August 2026. Neither your current/previous course of study nor your medicine course preferences have any bearing on interview selection'); the non-DRL WAM cut-off for interview was 82.313 for the 2026 intake (81.179 for 2025). MMPC shortlisting is 'based on the written statement, rural classification and WAM' — no percentage weighting published for MMPC.
Seats
Approximately 72 domestic students per year, all on Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP); 'approximately 28.5% of all places must be set aside as Bonded Medical Places (BMP)'. From the 2027 intake, 35 of the ~72 places are set aside for the End-to-End Rural Cohorts (30 North West + 5 new Gippsland cohort). At least 70% of places reserved for graduates of the Monash Bachelor of Biomedical Science. Minimum 27% of places reserved for Dean's Rural List applicants. MMPC (Mildura) scheme: 10 CSPs for domestic students. 216 interview places in the 2026 selection round. International intake: not published. (Note: the graduate-entry domestic overview page, last updated April 2025, still says 30 E2E places; the newer Rural Health E2E page states 35 from the 2027-commencing intake.)
Eligibility
Domestic: completed (or completing) one of these Monash University degrees with a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of at least 70 — Bachelor of Biomedical Science (incl. double degrees), Bachelor of Pharmacy (Honours), Bachelor of Physiotherapy (Honours), Bachelor of Science (incl. doubles, with at least 5 specified biomedical units), or the Federation University Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Gippsland Partnership Program). Assessment is on the undergraduate degree only (honours/graduate results ignored). NO GAMSAT required ('Applicants are not required to sit the Graduate Medical School Admissions Test (GAMSAT) for this course') and no UCAT for domestic graduate entry. Maximum two entry attempts per applicant; MMI may be sat once only. International: bachelor's degree from an internationally recognised university with significant broad biomedical science content and minimum GPA 6.0/7.0. MMPC (Mildura) additionally accepts Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Dentistry (or equivalent), requires degree completion within 10 years and evidenced rural background (MM2-MM7, 5 years consecutive or 10 cumulative).
Bonuses
Dean's Rural List (DRL): minimum 27% of places reserved; DRL applicants assessed separately with lower WAM interview thresholds (rural background = principal home address in MM2-MM7 for 5 consecutive or 10 cumulative years; sizes of the WAM concession not published). Indigenous Entry Scheme: exempt from competitive ranking; all-Indigenous panel interview replaces the MMI. MMPC (Mildura) preferred selection tiers: priority 1 Mildura regional catchment rural background, priority 2 rural Victoria, priority 3 other rural Australia (all MM2-MM7). No general rural/other bonus percentages beyond these published.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI), online via Zoom, weighted 60% of final selection: six sequential stations for domestic applicants (advocacy, collaboration, critical thinking, empathy, ethical reasoning, motivation, resilience); the international-applicant page describes a four-station circuit of 50-60 minutes (2 min reading + 8 min per station). 2026 interviews held 8-10 September 2026 for 2027 entry; 216 interview places. One MMI attempt only (a prior direct-entry MMI does not count against graduate entry). MMPC interviews held in person in Mildura. Indigenous applicants: panel interview replaces MMI.
Changes
Two official changes: (1) New Gippsland End-to-End Rural Cohort with intake commencing 2027 — 5 places based in south-east Victoria with placements across Gippsland, lifting total End-to-End rural places to 35 of the ~72 (the North West cohort of 30 is funded under the Commonwealth Murray-Darling Medical Schools Network). (2) The Monash Mildura Primary Care Training Pathway: Regional Entry Scheme (MMPC / Monash Mildura General Practice Academy) — 10 CSPs for rural-background graduates to complete the entire MD in Mildura; first intake 2026, 2027 application dates to be published ('Applications for 2026 entry have closed. Check back soon for 2027 application dates').

Monash has exactly two routes into medicine, both awarding the same double degree (Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine): school-leaver Direct Entry (M6011, 5 yrs, Clayton) and Graduate Entry (M6018, 4 yrs, Churchill/Gippsland + Mildura). There is NO provisional/assured pathway in the QUT/UQ/Adelaide sense (no guaranteed conditional entry from school into a postgraduate MD) — none was invented. The closest structural analogue is that at least 70% of graduate-entry places are reserved for Monash Bachelor of Biomedical Science graduates, but that pathway is competitive (WAM 40% + …
Newcastle/UNE JMP NSW · 1 program
Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (Joint Medical Program)
Weighting
No percentage weighting is published — selection is staged, and the final ranking is interview-based. Policy wording (JMP Admission and Selection Policy, s16): "Applicants who complete Stage 2 of the Assessment of Personal Qualities will be ranked for selection in descending order of merit according to their results in Stage 2. Applicants with the same score in Stage 2 will be sub-ranked on the basis of their performance in Stage 1." In practice: ATAR/GPA is a threshold gate only (not ranked); UCAT ANZ (Stage 1, aggregate of VR+DM+QR) is used only to rank applicants for invitation to the JMP Assessment and as the tie-breaker; final offers are ranked on Multiple Skills Assessment/Personal Qualities Assessment (Stage 2) performance. International applicants likewise: "ranked for selection based on the results of their Personal Qualities Assessment" (policy s26).
Seats
170 places per year across both universities combined (published; "more than 3,000 people apply"). Published sub-quotas: rural target 30% of students via Rural and Remote Admissions Scheme (18 at UNE and 33 at UON); up to 17 places for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants (Miroma Bunbilla Program); up to 6 places Excellence through Equity Pathway (UON Open Foundation students); up to 10 places Regional Health Professional Pathway. Places are CSP (UNE lists the course as Commonwealth Supported; est. first-year student contribution $13,536). Bonded Medical Program (BMP) quota exists (policy names a "Bonded Medical Places" quota) but the BMP number is not published. International quota: not published (2026 indicative international fee $92,695/yr, CRICOS 082394J).
Eligibility
Domestic school-leaver route: minimum ATAR 94.30 (HSC or equivalent); minimum ATAR 85 for applicants who completed Year 12 at a school in a designated rural/remote location (Rural Bonus Scheme, school address MM2-7 under the Modified Monash Model). Tertiary route: at least 1 year full-time (1 EFTSL, excluding credit) in a single program — policy requires a UAC (ATAR-based) rank of 88.40 or better; the JMP website publishes an equivalent table (e.g. completed bachelor "better than pass average", incomplete bachelor "close to credit average", GradDip credit average, research masters/PhD awarded). UON Bachelor of Biomedical Science graduates (completed 2025 or 2026): GPA 4.3+ with the lower (rural) UCAT cut-off. UCAT ANZ compulsory for all standard applicants (domestic and international); JMP uses an aggregate of Verbal Reasoning + Decision Making + Quantitative Reasoning only — Situational Judgement is not used for 2027 admission; UCAT cut-off for interview invitation set after applications close, lower cut-off for rural (RRAS), Communities Entry List and BiomedSci-pathway applicants. UCAT waived for: Regional Excellence Pathway (current school-leavers with ATAR 99.00+ from a school in the Hunter New England/Central Coast LHDs), Regional Health Professional Pathway (AHPRA-registered nurses/physios/paramedics/pharmacists with 2+ years living and working in MM3-7 areas of the HNELHD), and Miroma Bunbilla (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) applicants. RRAS and Communities Entry List require Australian citizenship/PR (NZ citizens ineligible); 5 years consecutive or 10 years cumulative residence. No subject prerequisites; no age limit. International: onshore/offshore school-leavers and tertiary applicants accepted (IELTS 7.0 overall/7.0 each section; Genuine Student requirement).
Bonuses
Educational Access Scheme (UAC EAS): up to 4 additional adjustment points toward academic eligibility (JMP participates). Rural Bonus Scheme: minimum ATAR drops from 94.30 to 85 for applicants whose school was in an MM2-7 location. Rural and Remote Admissions Scheme (RRAS) and JMP Communities Entry List (Hunter New England / Central Coast / Mid-North Coast LHD residents): lower UCAT ANZ cut-off for interview invitation. Biomedical Science Pathway (UON graduates, GPA 4.3+): rural-level (lower) UCAT cut-off, uncapped progression to interview. Regional Excellence Pathway: interview offered without UCAT for ATAR 99.00+ footprint school-leavers. Regional Health Professional Pathway: UCAT waived, up to 10 places. Miroma Bunbilla Program (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander): separate admission process, no UCAT and no direct JMP application required; up to 17 places. No generic elite-athlete or research-degree bonus published.
Interview
"Multiple Skills Assessment" (MSA): several eight-minute rotating stations discussing scenarios and undertaking activities with an assessor (MMI-style), held at Newcastle (Callaghan) or Armidale late November–early December 2026, plus the Personal Qualities Assessment (PQA), an online psychometric test completed the same day (PQA used only when the MSA is face-to-face). Assessed domains published: capacity to thrive in the JMP learning environment; everyday/important decision-making under uncertainty; interpersonal and communication skills; desire/drive to be a doctor. International applicants: MSA conducted via Zoom. Situational Judgement (UCAT subtest) explicitly not used for 2027.
Changes
Published for the 2027 cycle: the UCAT ANZ Situational Judgement subtest "will not form part of the JMP selection process for admission 2027" (aggregate = Verbal Reasoning + Decision Making + Quantitative Reasoning only). The university also states it "has introduced the UCAT ANZ for international applicants as part of the selection process", and the Regional Health Professional Pathway (up to 10 places, UCAT waived) and Regional Excellence Pathway (ATAR 99.00+ footprint school-leavers, UCAT waived) are current published pathway additions. No announced changes to total intake or weightings found.

Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) "delivered via a recorded (asynchronous) online platform" for domestic applicants; interview offers made September 2026. International candidates: live online panel interview (same questions asked of all candidates).
Changes
(1) CSPs for Indigenous students uncapped from 1 Jan 2026 — Notre Dame will offer CSPs to all successful Indigenous applicants beyond estimated place numbers. (2) KCRMT Broome stream included in the intake from the 2026 intake onward (20 CSPs in the 2027 estimate); Officially opened 20 August 2025 by a WA STATE minister — the Hon Stephen Dawson, WA Acting Premier and Minister for Regional Development, Ports, Science and Innovation, Medical Research and the Kimberley. The Australian Government funded $10m of accommodation/infrastructure but did not perform the opening.. (3) Priority Entry Pathway for UNDA Biomedical Science graduates takes effect for the first time in the 2026–2027 intake (see separate entry).
Priority Entry Pathway into the Doctor of Medicine (via Bachelor of Biomedical Science, incl. double degrees)
Weighting
Not published beyond the standard MD process. Notre Dame states "Selection is based on sustained university performance and demonstrated suitability for the profession"; candidates compete within the reserved cohort under the GEMSAS process (30:30:30:10 for interview; 50% combined score + 50% interview for offers).
Seats
Not published. Notre Dame states: "Each year, a defined number of places in Medicine are reserved for eligible Notre Dame Biomedical Science graduates" and GEMSAS states "Places will be distributed across each campus and fee type in a similar pattern to general place offers" — no numeric quota is published.
Eligibility
Reserved-entry (NOT guaranteed) pathway: candidates "compete within your cohort rather than against the broader national applicant pool". Must have been initially admitted to the UNDA Bachelor of Biomedical Science (incl. Biomed/Laws or Biomed/Commerce double degrees) with a valid ATAR selection rank, from 2024 onwards. Must apply in the year of degree completion or the year after (once only); not eligible if further study at another tertiary institution was undertaken after completion; max 1.0 FTE credit from another degree (excluding transfer between UNDA Biomed degrees). Must meet all standard GEMSAS entry requirements PLUS: GEMSAS-calculated GPA ≥6.0, unweighted GAMSAT ≥55, and a Casper score no lower than 1 SD below the mean. Must preference Notre Dame Fremantle & KCRMT Broome or Notre Dame Sydney first in GEMSAS.
Bonuses
None specific to the pathway published; standard MD bonus points (rurality MM2-7, WA residency 10+ years, HDR completion) apply within the GEMSAS application.
Interview
Standard MD interview — online recorded (asynchronous) Multiple Mini Interview (MMI).
Changes
This pathway is NEW: "the first Priority Entry commencing in the 2026–2027 intake", for students first admitted to the Bachelor of Biomedical Science from 2024 onwards. It supersedes the former domestic UCAT-based Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Assured Pathway) — the domestic Pathways to Medicine page now lists only the Priority Entry Pathway as the undergraduate route, and the former assured-pathway program URL now resolves to the plain Bachelor of Biomedical Science page (the Assured Pathway remains advertised for international students only).
Bachelor of Biomedical Science and Doctor of Medicine (Assured Pathway) — INTERNATIONAL students only
Weighting
Not published as percentages. Published wording: UCAT ANZ or ISAT results "will be ranked to determine interview"; entry requires meeting the ATAR/equivalent minimum, English requirements, and a successful interview.
Seats
Not published (international full-fee only; note the graduate MD international estimate is "Up to 15" at Fremantle for 2027, but no assured-pathway quota is published).
Eligibility
International school leavers only — applicants must NOT have commenced any tertiary study (university or diploma-level vocational). Minimum ATAR 92 or listed equivalent (e.g. IB 32, GCE A-Levels 13, SAT 1300 + HS diploma GPA, Gaokao 585/750). Minimum English proficiency requirements. UCAT ANZ or ISAT required — "which will be ranked to determine interview". Successful interview required. MD place is then guaranteed on completion of the Biomedical Science degree "if a minimum GPA of 2.5 is maintained each semester throughout the degree". No high-school subject prerequisites. Full-fee paying only.
Bonuses
None published. (International Welcome Scholarship offers up to 25% fee reduction on most undergraduate degrees — a scholarship, not an admissions adjustment.)
Interview
Interview required; format for the international assured pathway not specified beyond "successful interview" (international MD graduate-entry candidates sit a live online panel interview).
Changes
The equivalent domestic Assured Pathway is no longer listed for domestic school leavers — the domestic undergraduate route is now the Priority Entry Pathway (first intake 2026–2027). The assured pathway page is presented for international applicants only, currently framed around Semester 1 2026 commencement.
All facts verified against primary sources only: the GEMSAS 2027 school page for Notre Dame Fremantle (gemsas.edu.au/schools/notredame-fremantle — GEMSAS has moved from a single PDF guide to per-school web pages; no 2027 PDF exists at the historical URL pattern) and Notre Dame's own program/pathway pages. Key structural points for the data pack: (1) There is NO domestic undergraduate/school-leaver direct-entry medicine degree at Fremantle — medicine is a 4-year graduate MD. (2) The Fremantle intake now includes the Kimberley Centre for Remote Medical Training (KCRMT) Broome stream (20 of the …

Doctor of Medicine (MD) — graduate entry (Metropolitan Sydney stream and Dubbo stream)
Weighting
No percentage weighting published — ranking is by GAMSAT alone, with GPA as a hurdle. Published wording (Domestic Admissions Guide 2027): "The scores for each section of the GAMSAT will be used to rank applicants. Overall GAMSAT scores and average GAMSAT scores will not be used in the assessment and ranking of applications." Offer Preferences doc: "Applicants will be ranked on the basis of GAMSAT scores"; if applicants are ranked equally the University "reserves the right to use an additional selection tool, such as an interview or Situational Judgement Test (SJT)", and if further separation is required, GPA at time of application may be used at the University's discretion. Dubbo stream: applicants are selected for interview based on admissions test results and personal statement, and "the interview will contribute to the final ranking of applicants into the Dubbo stream" — offers made starting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and rural applicants with the highest ranked scores after review of personal statements and a group interview. International: ranked on admissions test results; the University "may use and/or weight scores in one or more sections of an admissions test (rather than overall or average scores)" and selects the GAMSAT/MCAT result giving the highest-ranking outcome.
Seats
Published as approximate anticipated OFFERS for 2026 entry (Doctor of Medicine Offer Preferences, August 2025 — the most recent published breakdown; all figures marked TBC): Metropolitan (Sydney) CSP 134 (includes ~30 offers reserved for undergraduate Double Degree Medicine students progressing into the MD), Metropolitan (Sydney) Bonded Medical Program (BMP) places 63, Dubbo CSP 24 — total 221. No domestic full-fee places listed. International intake number: not published. 2027-entry offer-preferences figures not yet published as of July 2026.
Eligibility
Domestic (2027 entry): (1) completed, or final year of, an AQF Level 7/8 bachelor's degree of at least 3 years FTE (completed by 1 Jan 2027; at least 2 years FTE at the awarding institution; degrees >10 years old need recent postgraduate study/research); (2) minimum GPA 5.0/7.0 as calculated by UAC QAS (rural applicants: minimum GPA 4.5); GPA is a hurdle only; (3) GAMSAT minimum 50 in EACH section, from a sitting in the past two years only (Sep 2024, Mar 2025, Sep 2025 or Mar 2026 for 2027 entry); (4) English language requirement. Dubbo stream additionally requires a Personal Statement on the university template. International: GPA ≥5/7 equivalent (calculated by the University), GAMSAT ≥50 each section OR MCAT ≥500, English requirement. Ineligible: applicants who previously applied unsuccessfully and have since commenced postgraduate medicine at another university. No exemptions, credit or advanced standing. NZ citizens count as domestic.
Bonuses
No points-based bonus schemes. Two published Facilitated Entry Schemes (both domestic): (1) Rural Applicants Facilitated Entry Scheme — for applicants who have lived 10+ years cumulatively or any 5 years consecutively (from birth) in ASGS-RA2–5 (Inner/Outer Regional, Remote, Very Remote), verified by a Confirmation of Rural Origin form (audited); rural GPA minimum lowered to 4.5 and offers may be made "with scores that are below the cut-off for standard admission". (2) Indigenous Facilitated Entry Scheme — GAMSAT requirement WAIVED from 2027 entry; GPA of at least 4.5 preferred but IAAG may recommend admission with lower GPA showing improvement; separate postgraduate-degree pathway (Level 9/10 completed within 3 years) that does not require a bachelor's degree; interview may be required. Aboriginal/Torres Strait Islander and rural applicants receive priority ranking for Dubbo stream offers. No metro/GPA/research bonus points, no elite-athlete or health-employment schemes published.
Interview
Standard Metropolitan entry: no interview (interview or Situational Judgement Test reserved only as a tie-break tool for equally ranked applicants). Dubbo stream: personal statement plus interview (described as a group interview in the Offer Preferences document) assessing "interest, intention and aptitude for practising medicine in rural and regional areas". International: some applicants may be required to attend an interview, selected on admissions test results. Indigenous Facilitated Entry Scheme: interview may be required.
Changes
Published in the 2027 guides: (1) "From 2027 entry onwards, the GAMSAT requirement will be waived for applicants applying via the Indigenous Facilitated Entry Scheme." (2) GAMSAT results now valid only two years for USyd ("despite any contrary advice from ACER or GAMSAT"), with a note this "may change for future intakes." No announced changes to weighting, campuses or quotas otherwise found.

Double Degree Medicine — Bachelor of Arts and Doctor of Medicine (UAC 513715) / Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Medicine (UAC 513720)
Weighting
Not published as percentages. Published wording (UAC 2027): "Admission is on the basis of your selection rank (domestic applicants) and ATAR (international applicants) (indicative selection rank/ATAR of 99.95 for 2027 entry) and performance in an assessment process, including an interview and a written assessment." Gadigal Program: selection "on the basis of your ATAR (indicative ATAR of 90.00 for 2027 entry) and performance in an assessment process, including a written assessment and a panel discussion session."
Seats
Published on UAC 2027 course page: "Approximately 30 domestic and 10 international places may be offered." Domestic places are CSP. Gadigal Program: up to 5 places. No BMP/full-fee split published for this pathway.
Eligibility
Current Year 12 (HSC or equivalent) only. Domestic: indicative selection rank 99.95 for 2027 entry; international: indicative ATAR 99.95. Must attend the assessment process (online, 18 Dec 2026 and 18 Jan 2027; eligible candidates must attend the first assessment day after ATAR release; dates not negotiable). No UCAT and no GAMSAT required — students who meet progression requirements (including a zero-credit-point Medicine unit of study) during the undergraduate degree enter the MD without sitting GAMSAT/UCAT or further selection. Gadigal Program (Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants): indicative minimum ATAR 90.00. Regional and Remote Entry Scheme or MySydney applicants: minimum ATAR 99.5 to be considered. Assumed knowledge for BSc Medical Science stream: Mathematics Advanced, Chemistry, Biology. Unconditional offer holders must enrol within 10 calendar days or the offer lapses.
Bonuses
Domestic entry is by "selection rank" (i.e. UAC adjustment factors can apply, but no medicine-specific bonus schedule is published; the effective floor remains 99.95 indicative). Published alternative-ATAR pathways: Gadigal Program for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants (up to 5 places, indicative ATAR 90.00); Regional and Remote Entry Scheme and MySydney (minimum ATAR 99.5 to be considered). Dalyell Scholars stream (ATAR 98+, by invitation) is an enrichment stream, not an entry concession.
Interview
Interview plus written assessment, held online (18 December 2026 and 18 January 2027 for 2027 entry); format beyond "interview and a written assessment" not further specified. Gadigal Program: written assessment plus panel discussion session.

University of Sydney has NO standalone undergraduate (direct school-leaver) MBBS/MD — the only school-leaver route is the provisional Double Degree Medicine (BA/MD or BSc/MD, ~30 domestic CSP + 10 international, ATAR/selection rank 99.95), which guarantees MD progression without GAMSAT/UCAT subject to progression requirements. The graduate MD is direct-entry (own portal + UAC QAS for GPA), NOT via GEMSAS — a common point of confusion. Selection crux: USyd is the major school that ranks purely on GAMSAT (each section used individually, never overall/average; GPA is a hurdle at 5.0, or 4.5 rura…
UNSW NSW · 2 programs
Bachelor of Medical Studies / Doctor of Medicine (BMedSt/MD)
Weighting
Not published as percentages. UNSW's published wording: interview invitations are 'offered based on academic selection rank and UCAT ANZ overall score only... to applicants with the highest combined ranking in these two areas'; final 'offers will be made to applicants with the highest rank determined by all measures. Scores aren't averaged - a high score in one area won't compensate for a low score in another' (applicants 'must receive sufficiently high marks on both selection criteria'). So: ATAR/GPA + UCAT gate the interview; ATAR + UCAT + interview determine offers, ranked not averaged, with no published component percentages.
Seats
Total intake not published on UNSW admissions pages. Published figures: 28.5% of Commonwealth Supported Places are allocated as Bonded Medical Program (BMP) places; ~350 General Entry interview places; Gateway Entry Scheme ~60 interviews and ~20 offers; Lateral Entry ~30 interviews and up to 10 offers; ~300 international interview places annually. Domestic CSP / BMP / international headcounts: not published.
Eligibility
General entry (Year 12): ATAR 96.00+ without EAS adjustments, plus UCAT ANZ at or above the 50th percentile, plus interview. University applicants/graduates: ATAR-equivalent 96.00+ and GPA 5.5+/7.0 (graduates GPA 5.5+). Rural Entry Admission Pathway: MMM2-7 residence for 5+ consecutive or 10+ cumulative years between ages 5-18 (Health Workforce Locator verified); ATAR 91.00+ (or GPA 4.8+/7.0 for uni students/graduates) and UCAT ANZ 40th percentile+; all eligible rural applicants are interviewed at a rural campus. Gateway Entry Scheme (Year 12 only, designated Gateway school or low-SES area): ATAR 91.00+ and UCAT 50th percentile+. Indigenous Entry Scheme via Nura Gili: no UCAT required; assessed via a 3-week residential Pre-Medicine & Health Program, academic record and interview. International: UCAT ANZ (50th pct+) OR ISAT (minimum 165) — whichever test is submitted first is the one considered; ATAR-equivalent 96.00+. No subject prerequisites: English is assumed knowledge and chemistry study is recommended. Domestic = Australian/NZ citizen or Australian permanent resident. NO external graduate pathway: 'We don't offer a graduate pathway into our program. It's not possible to join our program for the MD component alone.'
Bonuses
No points-style bonuses; adjustments operate as alternative-threshold schemes: Rural Entry Admission Pathway (ATAR 91.00 vs 96.00; UCAT 40th vs 50th percentile; guaranteed interview if eligible); Gateway Entry Scheme (ATAR 91.00, ~20 offers); Indigenous Entry Scheme via Nura Gili (no UCAT, Pre-Medicine Program route). EAS (Educational Access Scheme) and SCATS considered only AFTER meeting minimum selection criteria without adjustments — EAS adjustments cannot be used to reach the ATAR minimums. 2026 lowest selection ranks for reference: 99.75 local general, 94.25 Gateway, 91.05 rural.
Interview
Structured interview (UNSW's current published wording: 'Interviews are structured and cover a wide range of relevant topics') with two interviewers drawn from academic staff, medical practitioners and community representatives. Not an MMI. Domestic: face-to-face only (Kensington, or the closest rural clinical campus for rural pathway applicants — Wagga Wagga, Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Albury); rescheduling not permitted and non-attendance terminates the application. International: via Zoom, held monthly June 2026 - January 2027. Domestic interview rounds 17-22 December 2026 and 12-13 January 2027.
Changes
1) Medicine Program Redesign launching 2028 and affecting students commencing 2027: refreshed curriculum, enhanced general practice placements, integrated clinical practice/research in Year 4 — duration stays six years. 2) UNSW's Medicine Application Portal (MAP) is being discontinued for the 2027 intake cycle (queries directed to mh.admissions@unsw.edu.au). 3) UNSW moves to a Flex-Semester academic calendar from 2028.

Lateral Entry Scheme into BMedSt/MD (internal, UNSW Bachelor of Medical Science students only)
Weighting
Not published as percentages. Published components: Weighted Average Mark across the BMedSci core courses + UCAT ANZ (minimum 50th percentile) + interview; UNSW's general rule applies that scores are ranked, not averaged ('a high score in one area won't compensate for a low score in another').
Seats
Approximately 30 interview places; 'Up to 10 offers will be made to Lateral Entry applicants.' No further split published.
Eligibility
Domestic applicants only (Australian citizen, Australian permanent resident or NZ citizen) currently in Year 2 of the UNSW Bachelor of Medical Science (BMedSci), with all courses completed at UNSW: 13 core courses completed by end of Term 2 Year 2 to qualify for interview, 16 core courses by end of Year 2 to qualify for an offer. UCAT ANZ minimum 50th percentile. This is UNSW's ONLY graduate-direction stream — it is not open to external graduates and there is no standalone MD entry.
Bonuses
None published for this scheme (rural applicants within BMedSci use the Rural Entry Admission Pathway thresholds instead).
Interview
Structured interview with two interviewers (same format as general entry); Lateral Entry interviews held 16 December 2026 at the Kensington campus for 2027 entry.
Changes
None specific to this scheme found beyond the university-wide items (Medicine Program Redesign from 2028 affecting 2027 commencers; MAP portal discontinued).
Route coverage: UNSW has NO postgraduate/graduate-entry MD and NO provisional/assured school-leaver-to-postgrad pathway — its published wording is explicit: "We don't offer a graduate pathway into our program. It's not possible to join our program for the MD component alone." UNSW is not a GEMSAS school and GAMSAT is not used anywhere at UNSW. The only routes are (1) the 6-year undergraduate BMedSt/MD (school leavers, current university students and graduates all compete via ATAR-equivalent/GPA + UCAT + interview in the same program) and (2) the internal Lateral Entry Scheme restricted to UNS…
UQ QLD · 4 programs
Doctor of Medicine (MD) — Graduate Entry
Weighting
Interview selection is published: applicants are ranked for interview using "a 50:50 combination of the unweighted average GAMSAT score and the assessed GPA (converted to a percentage)" (GEMSAS guide, UQ entry; GPA is the tiebreaker). GPA is calculated over the entire duration of the degree, weighted by credit value not year. The final post-MMI offer weighting IS published in UQ's Policy and Procedures Library (Admission to Coursework Procedure, Schedule 3): graduate-entry applicants 'will be ranked in merit order based on their final score which comprises GPA (25%), unweighted average GAMSAT score or overall MCAT score (25%) and MMI score (50%)', with the MMI score as secondary differentiator on equal final scores. Note it is absent from UQ's marketing pages and the GEMSAS school profile — the Policy Library is the operative source.
Seats
Per the GEMSAS guide for 2027 entry: 107 graduate CSP, 43 graduate BMP (Bonded Medical Program), 190 international (including UQ-Ochsner), Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway: no set quota. Domestic full-fee: not offered/not published. UQ's wording: 'approximately 275 Doctor of Medicine places available for domestic students each year' and 'approximately 100 Doctor of Medicine places available for international students for the provisional entry and graduate entry pathway each year' — i.e. the ~100 covers provisional + graduate onshore international only, not 'all entry routes'; the GEMSAS figure of 190 international includes UQ-Ochsner, so there is no real contradiction with the ~100 figure. The 107 CSP / 43 BMP / 190 international / ATSI 'no set quota' numbers are confirmed on the GEMSAS UQ page..
Eligibility
Bachelor's degree (key degree = most recent degree, completed within 10 years); minimum UQ-equivalent GPA 5.0 on a 7-point scale in the key degree; GAMSAT with minimum 50 in each section (or MCAT minimum 504), sat within 4 years before commencement; MMI attendance. From the 2027 intake there are no prerequisite subjects — cell/tissue biology and systems physiology are 'assumed knowledge' only. Regional pathways (CQ–Wide Bay via CQUniversity, Darling Downs–South West via UniSQ) are domestic-only and ranked by three residency/rural tiers before Greater Brisbane consideration.
Bonuses
Rural Access Scheme: "2 adjustments towards your unweighted average GAMSAT score" for applicants with an Australian rural background (MMM 2-7 for 5 consecutive or 10 cumulative years). Rural background sub-quota: UQ states 28% of all new domestic MD places (GEMSAS guide states 28.5%). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduate pathway: GAMSAT encouraged but "not compulsory"; selection via ATSIS Unit semi-structured interview plus MMI; apply direct to UQ (by 1 August 2026) and/or via GEMSAS. No admissions schemes for international students. No published bonuses for research degrees or prior health-professional employment.
Interview
Multiple mini-interview (MMI), conducted via video conferencing; multiple stations, different assessor per station. Round 1 interviews week beginning 13 July 2026; Round 2 week beginning 14 September 2026. ATSI pathway adds a semi-structured panel interview with the ATSIS Unit.
Changes
From the 2027 (and beyond) MD intake, specific prerequisite subjects are no longer required (now 'assumed knowledge' of cell/tissue biology and systems physiology). Also, UQ announced a new 6-year Bachelor of Medical Science/Doctor of Medicine vertical dual program with first intake 2027 (a new route alongside, not replacing, graduate entry).

Doctor of Medicine (MD) — Provisional Entry for School Leavers
Weighting
Not published as percentages. UQ states selection for interview is based on the "UCAT ANZ aggregate score" (ATAR 95 is a threshold), and after interview applicants "will be ranked in merit order against each program stream"; QTAC states the cohort is ranked on combined ATAR, UCAT ANZ aggregate and MMI total scores. No official UQ/QTAC source publishes the percentage split — treat any 25/25/50 figure circulating on prep-company sites as unpublished.
Seats
Not published as a separate provisional allocation. UQ publishes only whole-of-MD figures: approximately 275 domestic and approximately 100 international places per year. QTAC lists separate non-bonded (721302) and bonded (721402) codes but no per-code counts.
Eligibility
Must be completing Queensland Year 12 or equivalent in the application year, first attempt; adjusted ATAR 95.00 or equivalent minimum; Queensland Year 12 (or equivalent) English; competitive UCAT ANZ aggregate from the application year (2026-intake interview cutoffs: 2290 general, 1960 Rural Background Sub-Quota — varies yearly); MMI attendance. At least 50% of domestic MMI invitees must be Queensland Year 12 students. To convert the provisional place, students must complete their first bachelor's degree at UQ in minimum time with GPA of at least 5.0/7.0. Regional pathways are domestic-only.
Bonuses
Rural Background Sub-Quota: "Each year, we allocate 28% of all new domestic places in the Doctor of Medicine to applicants from an Australian rural background" (GEMSAS guide states 28.5%); rural applicants faced a lower UCAT interview cutoff (1960 vs 2290 for the 2026 intake). Standard QTAC adjustment factors apply to ATAR (2026 intake lowest selection rank 95.00, but 98.10 median-range effect with adjustments; QTAC median ATAR 99.95 with adjustments). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander provisional pathway available (separate ATSIS Unit process). No admissions schemes for international students.
Interview
Multiple mini-interview (MMI) via video conferencing, held mid-late November 2026 for 2027 commencement; offers mid-December 2026.
Changes
From 2027, UQ adds a new 6-year Bachelor of Medical Science/Doctor of Medicine vertical dual program alongside provisional entry (UQ explicitly states provisional entry, graduate entry and the ATSI pathway all continue). From the 2027 MD intake, MD prerequisite subjects are removed (assumed knowledge only), which affects degree-subject planning during the provisional bachelor's.

Bachelor of Medical Science / Doctor of Medicine (vertical dual program) — NEW from 2027
Weighting
Not published as percentages. UQ states ranking uses "ATAR, UCAT ANZ and MMI scores"; no percentage split has been published for this new program.
Seats
Not published (program is new for 2027; no place allocation published; sits within UQ's ~275 domestic MD places per year)
Eligibility
School leavers; adjusted ATAR 95 or equivalent; Queensland Year 12 General English (Units 3&4, C); Queensland Year 12 Mathematical Methods (Units 3&4, C) — note Maths Methods is required for this dual but not for standard provisional entry; Year 12 chemistry/biology recommended but not mandatory; competitive UCAT ANZ aggregate sat in the application year; MMI attendance. Domestic via QTAC; international pending CRICOS registration.
Bonuses
None published specifically for this program yet (standard QTAC adjustment factors apply to ATAR; UQ's 28% rural sub-quota statement applies to all new domestic MD places).
Interview
Multiple mini-interview (MMI), consistent with UQ's MD interview process (video conferencing).
Changes
This program IS the announced change: first intake 2027, allowing graduation as a doctor in 6 years (at least 1 year earlier than UQ's other school-leaver pathway). UQ confirms it runs alongside, not instead of, provisional entry, graduate entry and the ATSI pathway. International availability pending CRICOS registration.
UQ-Ochsner Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program
Weighting
Not published. UQ-Ochsner states interview invitations depend on MCAT, GPA and available positions, and MMI performance contributes to selection; no percentage weighting is published.
Seats
Included within UQ's 190 international MD places for 2027 entry (GEMSAS guide: "International (including UQ-Ochsner): 190"); a separate Ochsner-only class size is not published. Full-fee international; no CSP/BMP.
Eligibility
US citizens and US permanent residents only (dual citizens apply as US citizens; Australian/NZ permanent residents holding US citizenship are eligible); bachelor's or master's degree with minimum B average in the most recently completed degree, completed within 10 years (one semester of undergraduate coursework can reactivate an older degree); MCAT minimum 504 within 4 years of start date (504 does not guarantee interview — 2025 cohort average MCAT was 510); MMI attendance.
Bonuses
None published ("There are no admissions schemes for international students" — UQ MD admission schemes page).
Interview
Multiple mini-interview (MMI), rolling from March through Fall of the application year.
Route map: UQ has NO standalone undergraduate MBBS — every route leads into the 4-year postgraduate MD. Four routes exist: (1) graduate entry via GEMSAS (UQ is in the GEMSAS consortium for 2027 entry — do not repeat older claims that UQ takes only direct applications), (2) provisional entry for school leavers (bachelor at UQ then guaranteed conditional MD place), (3) the NEW 6-year BMedSc/MD vertical dual (first intake 2027, QTAC 721502, requires Maths Methods unlike standard provisional entry), and (4) UQ-Ochsner (US citizens/PRs, full-fee international).

Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (BMedScMD) — school-leaver entry (course code H7X for 2027 entry; formerly H3X)
Weighting
No percentage weighting published — selection is a rank order, not a weighted composite. Published wording: "This course uses ATAR and ATAR-equivalent scores (within 5 years of the course commencement date) as the primary ranking method for the admission process" and "Groups of applicants with the same ATAR will be ranked by using the UCAT ANZ score as a secondary ranking method." UCAT is therefore a tie-breaker, not a weighted component. "UTAS uses the combined scores of the 3 cognitive subtests of the UCAT ANZ test (i.e. the first 3 sections, excluding the situational judgement test)." No interview component.
Seats
Total intake not published on the course page. Published components: 20 domestic places held for the Tasmanian Rural Training Stream (Cradle Coast campus only, with written commitment to complete all years at Burnie); approximately 30% of domestic students each year must be enrolled in the Bonded Medical Program (Commonwealth requirement); rural quota of 50% of domestic students from MM2-7 locations including 25% from MM3-7; at least 75% of domestic places offered to Tasmanians. CSP available for domestic students (indicative CSP fee $13,240/yr in 2026). International places offered until filled (2027 international fee $86,573/yr); international seat count not published.
Eligibility
Domestic school leavers: minimum ATAR 95 including any rural adjustment (this is the minimum adjusted ATAR for an application to be considered — meeting it does not guarantee an offer); valid UCAT ANZ score required (valid for the current admission cycle only, i.e. 2026 UCAT for 2027 entry); prerequisites of Tasmanian Senior Secondary Chemistry CHM415115 or equivalent within 5 years (a UTAS foundation Chemistry unit can remedy this before admission) and Year 12 English within 5 years (EAL/D not accepted); must NOT have previously commenced tertiary study (no recorded results at AQF 5+); minimum age 17 at 1 February in year of commencement; ISAT and MCAT not accepted for domestic applicants. Applicants who completed a medicine degree overseas or were excluded from a medical degree elsewhere are not eligible. International school leavers: minimum ATAR 90 or equivalent, plus ISAT (total ≥170, min 165 in both sections) OR MCAT (≥491 within 5 years) OR UCAT ANZ (total in ≥50th percentile); Chemistry prerequisite; English language requirements (e.g. IELTS Academic 7.0).
Bonuses
Rural Application Process (RAP): ATAR adjustment for rural school-leaver applicants (lived in MM2-7 area 5 consecutive or 10 cumulative years) — maximum RAP adjustment is 5 ATAR points, counted within the minimum ATAR 95. Tasmanian Rural Training Stream: 20 places prioritised by 4 published geographic tiers (Tier 1 Tasmanian MM3-7 + postcodes 73xx/72xx; Tier 2 other Tasmanian MM2; Tier 3 interstate MM3-7; Tier 4 interstate MM1-2), with additional scholarships and accommodation. Aboriginal Entry Pathway for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants. Special consideration available for circumstances beyond the applicant's control (economic hardship, serious medical condition, disability) — subject prerequisites cannot be waived. No other bonus schemes published.
Interview
None. Published wording: "The University of Tasmania does not conduct interviews during selection for the Medicine Program."
Changes
All 2027 applications move to a new course code H7X (AQF Level 9), replacing H3X (AQF Level 7) — same 5-year BMedScMD structure. From 2026 the program is offered at the Cradle Coast (Burnie) campus in addition to Hobart and Launceston, with the 20-place Tasmanian Rural Training Stream at Cradle Coast. From 2027, a new quota for University of Tasmania Bachelor of Biomedicine (BBiomed) graduates replaces the old BMedRes pathway on the graduate-entry side (see graduate entry program).
Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (BMedScMD) — graduate entry pathway (applicants with previous higher education study)
Weighting
No percentage weighting published. Published wording: "Applications are considered on the basis of GPA (calculated on all tertiary study, AQF 7 and higher) and GAMSAT score." The page does not publish how GPA and GAMSAT are combined into a rank for graduate applicants (unlike the school-leaver route, where ATAR-primary/UCAT-tie-break is explicit). No interview component.
Seats
Not published. Graduate-entry applicants compete within the same domestic intake as school leavers; the published quotas span both routes: at least 75% of domestic places to Tasmanians (definition for prior-tertiary applicants: currently resident in Tasmania with 5+ consecutive years, OR 10+ cumulative years lived in Tasmania not more than 10 years before commencement), 50% rural quota (MM2-7, incl. 25% MM3-7), ~30% Bonded Medical Program, and the 20-place Tasmanian Rural Training Stream (open to graduate applicants, assessed on GPA/GAMSAT).
Eligibility
Completed Bachelor degree (AQF Level 7) or higher from any Australian higher education provider or equivalent overseas qualification, no more than 10 years before course commencement; OR an Australian/equivalent overseas qualification with current general registration ongoing for the last 5 years with AHPRA, NASRHP or an Australian Veterinary State Registration Authority. Minimum unweighted GPA 5.25 (GPA for the first complete Bachelor degree calculated at its completion; average GPA across all tertiary study if additional study undertaken). GAMSAT: minimum score of 50 in ALL THREE sections (test sittings accepted are the same as those used by GEMSAS). Minimum age 17 at 1 February of commencement year. Overseas medicine degree holders and applicants excluded from a medical degree elsewhere are not eligible. VET/TAFE and work/life-experience applications not accepted.
Bonuses
Published GPA bonuses for research degrees: "A completed Masters by Research degree is awarded a 0.2 points bonus to the overall GPA.

Changes
From 2027 entry a new quota within the graduate entry pathway is reserved for graduates of the UTAS Bachelor of Biomedicine (M3X BBiomed) — see the BBiomed/BMedRes pathway entry. The old BMedRes pathway (no GAMSAT required) is transitioning out: UTAS advises students completing the BMedRes in 2026 or later to contact the Tasmanian School of Medicine for advice. 2027 applications move to course code H7X (AQF 9).
BMedScMD internal feeder pathways: Bachelor of Medical Research (BMedRes, 53E) pathway — transitioning to a Bachelor of Biomedicine (BBiomed, M3X) quota from 2027 entry
Weighting
No percentage weighting published. BMedRes pathway published wording: "Selection rank for this pathway is based on cumulative percentage average score from units contributing to award of the BMedRes." BBiomed quota published wording: "Applications will be considered on the basis of GPA and GAMSAT score" — the combination method is not published.
Seats
Not published. The BBiomed quota size for 2027 entry is not published on the course page.
Eligibility
Outgoing BMedRes pathway (final cohorts): completed the Bachelor of Medical Research at UTAS in the year prior to commencement; minimum cumulative percentage average of 65% at completion of the BMedRes; NO GAMSAT required; rural and Tasmanian quotas do not apply. New BBiomed quota from 2027 entry: completed the M3X BBiomed at UTAS in the year prior to commencement (vertical double-degree students who complete all academic requirements for the M3X exit award qualify, with any offer conditional on taking the M3X exit award; students who complete the full vertical double degree instead apply through the general graduate entry pathway); minimum unweighted GPA 5.25 calculated from UTAS units contributing to the BBiomed award; GAMSAT minimum 50 in all three sections; rural and Tasmanian quotas do not apply. International applicants are included in the BBiomed quota from 2027 and GAMSAT is required for them.
Bonuses
None published specific to this pathway (rural and Tasmanian quotas explicitly do NOT apply to it).
Interview
None. "The University of Tasmania does not conduct interviews during selection for the Medicine Program."
Changes
Officially announced on the UTAS course pages: for entry to the BMedScMD from 2027, the BMedRes pathway transitions to a quota within the general graduate entry pathway for applicants who have completed the UTAS Bachelor of Biomedicine (BBiomed), and this quota will include international applicants (with GAMSAT required). Students completing the BMedRes in 2026 or later are directed to contact the Tasmanian School of Medicine for advice.
University of Tasmania offers exactly ONE medical program: the 5-year combined Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (BMedScMD). There is NO separate 4-year graduate-entry MD and NO provisional/assured school-leaver pathway into a postgraduate MD — graduates enter year 1 of the same 5-year program. Level classification caveat: the "postgraduate" entries above are graduate-ENTRY routes into the (from 2027, AQF Level 9) combined degree, not a standalone postgraduate MD; the third entry (BMedRes/BBiomed) is a quota-based internal feeder, not a guaranteed provisional pathway — I clas…

Doctor of Medicine (MD) — graduate entry
Weighting
Interview shortlisting (GEMSAS wording): 'Selection for interview is based on standardised GAMSAT Overall Score and GPA and weighted (40% GAMSAT, 60% GPA).' Final ranking (UWA wording): 'Final ranking for non-rural domestic applicants to the MD will be based on GAMSAT (20%), GPA (30%) and interview (50%).' Rural pathway: 'Final ranking for rural applicants to the MD will be based on GAMSAT (15%), GPA (22.5%), interview (37.5%) and rurality rating (25%).'
Seats
GEMSAS-published for 2027: 'Up to 103 Domestic Places, of which: approximately 30% of domestic places are available for rural applicants; up to 10% of domestic places are available for Indigenous students; 28.5% of all domestic medical places are BMPs'; approximately 40 international places. UWA course page gives the whole-of-MD totals (both entry routes combined): 206 domestic + 40 international, with up to 50% of all places allocated to school leavers. CSP vs full-fee domestic split beyond the 28.5% BMP figure: not published.
Eligibility
Recognised bachelor degree (Australian or AQF/NOOSR-equivalent; a higher degree alone is insufficient); selection GPA (most recent 3 FTE years) minimum 5.5; GAMSAT overall minimum 55 with no section score below 50 (valid 4 years — for 2027 commencement, Sep 2022 to Mar 2026 sittings). International applicants may instead present MCAT overall 500 with no section under 124 and apply direct to UWA. No mandatory subject prerequisites (Chemistry/Biology at first-year uni level and Year 12 Physics recommended; bridging units available). Quotas: ~30% rural, up to 10% Indigenous, 28.5% BMP. Graduate-entry offers cannot be deferred except in exceptional circumstances.
Bonuses
No GPA/GAMSAT bonus points scheme published (no honours/PhD or prior-employment bonuses). Rural applicants are instead assessed in a dedicated rural sub-quota (~30% of domestic places) with a rurality rating worth 25% of the final ranking. Indigenous applicants have an alternative entry pathway via UWA's School of Indigenous Studies / Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental Health, with up to 10% of domestic places.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI): 8 stations x 7 minutes (2 min reading + 5 min response), ~70–75 minutes total; for the 2027 intake domestic graduate interviews are held online, approx. 22 September – 3 October 2026. International applicants: panel interview (~50 minutes, 2 interviewers, MMI-style questions).
Direct Pathway (Assured Pathway) to the Doctor of Medicine — school-leaver conditional entry via Bachelor of Biomedicine (Specialised)
Weighting
UWA wording (domestic): 'Final ranking will be based on ATAR or equivalent (30%), interview (50%) and UCAT ANZ score (20%)'; rural applicants: 'ATAR or equivalent (22.5%), interview (37.5%), UCAT ANZ score (15%), and rurality rating (25%)'. International: 'Final ranking will be based on ATAR or equivalent (30%), interview (50%) and ISAT score (20%)'.
Seats
Up to 50% of all MD places are allocated to school leavers (of 206 domestic + 40 international total MD places); 20 of the school-leaver positions are reserved for the Broadway pathway (specified WA schools). Exact CSP/BMP/full-fee split for the school-leaver allocation: not published (BMP is 28.5% of all Commonwealth-supported MD places overall).
Eligibility
Domestic school leavers (Year 12 or equivalent): minimum ATAR 98 for High Academic Achiever, Rural and Broadway categories (Broadway/Rural minimums apply after applicable Broadway adjustments); minimum ATAR 90 for the Indigenous school-leaver pathway; UCAT ANZ sat in the application year; interview. Subject prerequisites for the pathway bachelor: Chemistry ATAR (or bridging unit) and Mathematics Applications ATAR or higher (or bridging unit). International school leavers: ATAR-equivalent 98 plus ISAT at or above the 25th percentile in both sections, plus interview. The MD place is CONDITIONAL: complete UWA's Bachelor of Biomedicine (Specialised) with the Integrated Medical Sciences and Clinical Practice major achieving a minimum selection GPA of 5.5 within the first two years. UWA states minimum ATAR does not guarantee entry. School leavers may defer 1 year (2 years for national service obligations).
Bonuses
Broadway pathway: applicants from specified (typically low-SES) WA schools compete for 20 reserved places with Broadway ATAR adjustments applied toward the ATAR-98 minimum (adjustment size not published on the pages reviewed). Rural quota: rurality rating worth 25% of final ranking. Indigenous school-leaver pathway: reduced ATAR minimum of 90 via School of Indigenous Studies. No other bonus/adjustment schemes published.
Interview
Multiple Mini Interview (MMI) for domestic applicants — same 8-station x 7-minute format as graduate entry; school-leaver interviews are held late in the application year (Nov–Dec) with shortlisted candidates advised of dates. International school leavers: panel interview (~50 minutes, 2 interviewers).
UWA has NO direct undergraduate (school-leaver MBBS-style) medical degree — the MD is postgraduate-only, so there are exactly two routes: (1) graduate entry via GEMSAS/GAMSAT and (2) the school-leaver Direct/Assured Pathway (conditional MD place held while completing the Bachelor of Biomedicine (Specialised)); both are covered above. Key cross-checks: the GEMSAS figure of 'up to 103 domestic places' is the graduate-entry allocation and reconciles with UWA's whole-of-program figure of 206 domestic places with up to 50% going to school leavers. The rural sub-quota (~30%), Indigenous allocation …

Bonuses
12 published UOW MD Admissions bonuses; UOW states "All bonuses are weighted equally, bonuses are cumulative" (individual point sizes not published): UOW First Preference; Registered Health Professional (AHPRA); Service Commitment (2+ yrs volunteer/emergency service); Sustained Work Experience (2+ yrs paid); Rural Work Experience (2+ yrs paid in MM2–7); Rural High School Education (4+ yrs in MM2–7); Illawarra Local Resident (5+ yrs MM1); NSW Rural Resident (5+ consecutive or 10 cumulative yrs MM2–7); UOW Graduate; UOW Graduate + Academic Excellence (GPA >= 6.5); Indigenous Health postgraduate qualification; Financial Disadvantage requires receipt of an approved PRIMARY means-tested income support payment (Services Australia/Centrelink, DVA, or StudyLink NZ) for a minimum CONTINUOUS 12-month period within the 5 years immediately prior to application; supplementary payments (Rent Assistance, Family Tax Benefit) and wage subsidies do not qualify. 'Centrelink history' alone is too loose and omits the DVA/StudyLink NZ routes and the 12-month/5-year conditions.. Rural Entry Pathway applicants additionally receive an automatic rurality adjustment in three tiers — MM2 (Regional), MM3–5 (Rural), MM6–7 (Remote), largest for Remote — size not published. Bonus form deadline 15 June 2026.
Interview

International and Indigenous-pathway interviews run in rolling rounds late March – late September 2026. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants also complete a separate UOW GSM Community Interview with community members and staff.
Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health (guaranteed-interview pathway to the UOW MD)
Weighting
Published (quoted, UOW course page): "Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health students are ranked based on Casper scores, with a guaranteed interview offered to the top 15 ranked students in both the Rural and General entry pathways." Students outside the guarantee are considered via the standard competitive MD process. Beyond the interview guarantee, place offers follow the standard MD algorithm (70% interview + 30% bonuses).
Seats
Not published for future intakes (2024 cohort was 111 commencing students, per UOW course page). No published cap on the pathway itself; guaranteed interviews limited to top-15 ranked students per entry pathway (see selection).
Eligibility
School-leaver entry to the bachelor: minimum selection rank (ATAR-based) 90; assumed knowledge two units each of English, Mathematics and Science (Mathematics Standard 2, Biology and Chemistry recommended; bridging courses encouraged if no HSC Chemistry/Biology). Progression to the MD still requires meeting all standard MD hurdles (weighted GPA >= 5.5, GAMSAT 50/50 minimums, Casper, UOW first preference). IMPORTANT: this is a guaranteed-INTERVIEW arrangement only — it is NOT a guaranteed or conditional MD place.
Bonuses
None specific to this pathway published beyond the guaranteed-interview arrangement; as UOW graduates, completing students would later qualify for the MD "UOW Graduate" bonus (and "UOW Graduate + Academic Excellence" if GPA >= 6.5).
Interview
Same as the MD: 8-station live online MMI.
UOW has NO direct school-leaver (undergraduate) medical degree — the only degree conferring medical registration is the 4-year graduate-entry MD. The Bachelor of Pre-Medicine, Science and Health is included as the nearest thing to a provisional pathway, but it guarantees an INTERVIEW only (top 15 by Casper per pathway), never a place — do not present it as assured entry. Distinctive UOW facts worth surfacing: GAMSAT and GPA are hurdles only and carry ZERO weight in ranking (rare among GEMSAS schools); ranking is entirely Casper + bonuses (interview stage) then interview + bonuses (offer stage…

Bachelor of Clinical Science (Medicine)/Doctor of Medicine (MD) — Western Sydney University
Weighting
Published (WSU MD applicants pages): UCAT ANZ performance determines who is invited to interview (threshold not disclosed; "individual sections may be subject to weighting"), then "Final offers are made on the basis of: 75% interview performance, 25% UCAT ANZ performance and meeting the relevant academic threshold." ATAR/GPA is a hurdle (threshold), not a ranked component.
Seats
"approximately 120 places" total (WSU MD enrolment places page); "The School reserves approximately 20 places for International students each year" (international page states a "minimum of 20 places"); "minimum of 15 places" reserved for Rural Entry Admission Scheme (REAS) students; CSP vs BMP split not published (both place types exist)
Eligibility
Domestic: Australian/NZ citizen, permanent resident or permanent humanitarian visa. Academic thresholds: ATAR 95.5 (or equivalent) general; 93.5 for Greater Western Sydney (GWS) applicants (lived at a School of Medicine designated GWS postcode for at least 5 consecutive years prior to program commencement); 91.5 for Rural Entry Admission Scheme (ASGS-RA 2-5 residence for 10 years cumulative or 5 consecutive since age 5, verified via DoctorConnect). Graduates/non-school-leavers enter the same course via minimum GPA tables (e.g. completed undergraduate degree GPA 5.5 non-GWS / 5.2 GWS / 4.9 rural; honours and research masters no minimum). UCAT ANZ must be sat in the year of application (previous years' results not accepted); UCAT threshold not disclosed, set annually by cohort performance, and GWS applicants may face a lower UCAT threshold. No HSC subject prerequisites published. International: ATAR-equivalent 93.5 (IB 37, GCE AAA*) or GPA tables; ISAT (International Student Admission Test) used to rank when places are limited; interview required; no credit for partial overseas medical degrees.
Bonuses
No points-based ATAR adjustment scheme published. Instead, concessional entry thresholds: Greater Western Sydney residents ATAR 93.5 (vs 95.5) plus potentially lower UCAT interview threshold; Rural Entry Admission Scheme ATAR 91.5 with a minimum of 15 dedicated places; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Pathway — separate admission process (no published ATAR minimum or UCAT mention): NSW HSC or tertiary equivalent, confirmation-of-identity documentation, and a panel interview (Dean, Professor of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, an academic, and a community member) held early November. No elite-athlete or other adjustment schemes published for the MD.
Interview
Multi-station Mini Interview (MMI), held late November, conducted via Zoom/video conference; a series of stations each with a separate interviewer, approximately 8 minutes per station
Changes
The WSU/CSU Joint Program in Medicine has ended: from 2027 entry WSU and Charles Sturt run separate, independently accredited medicine programs with separate UAC codes (WSU 725505; CSU 214478) — confirmed by UAC's medicine key-dates listing (which lists the two courses separately) and unverified — do not publish as fact (the direct quote could not be confirmed: study.csu.edu.au and CSU School of Medicine pages return HTTP 403 to automated fetching; the CSU 2026 handbook confirms the course exists but contains no such wording). The underlying facts ARE confirmed from primary sources — UAC lists WSU 725505 and CSU 214478 as separate courses, and WSU states transfers between the two programs are not permitted — so keep the separation claim but drop or re-source the attributed CSU quote. WSU also states transfers between the WSU and CSU BClinSci(Med)/MD programs are not permitted. No changes to WSU's own selection weighting announced.

Weighting
Not published (percentage weighting). CSU/UAC publish the components only: "The UCAT scores will determine a ranked list for interview" (threshold varies yearly and "will not be disclosed"), and UAC lists selection as "UCAT ANZ results (performance will determine if candidates are invited to interview), an interview, academic merit (lowest selection rank or equivalent)" — no interview-vs-UCAT percentage is stated on current CSU or UAC pages. (The predecessor Joint Program used 75% interview / 25% UCAT, which WSU still publishes for its program, but CSU has not published a weighting for the new independent program.)
Seats
47 Commonwealth Supported Places per year (CSU news, 25 Nov 2025: an additional 10 CSPs "from next year" takes "the course" to 47 CSPs). Rural vs non-rural split of places not published on primary sources; BMP places exist and are "automatically allocate[d]... based on final ranking" (number not published); no international offering (CSU: "This course has no international offering"); no full-fee domestic places published.
Eligibility
Australian citizens and permanent residents only (no international intake). Academic thresholds: non-rural ATAR 95.5 (or IB 38+, GCE AAA*, or GPA tables — e.g. completed undergraduate degree GPA 5.5; honours/research masters no minimum); Rural Entry Admissions Scheme ATAR 91.5 (or IB 35+, or GPA tables — e.g. completed undergraduate degree GPA 4.9), with rural origin defined as "residency for at least 10 years cumulatively or any 5 years consecutively in an ASGS-RA 2-5 area since the age of five years" (verified via DoctorConnect + Rural Confirmation form in the UAC application). UCAT ANZ must be sat in the year of application (results valid only for that year); UCAT ranks applicants for interview and the required level "will not be disclosed". Geographic interview allocation: 80% of interview places to NSW applicants, 20% to interstate. Minimum 32 credit points required for tertiary qualifications to be GPA-assessed. No HSC subject prerequisites published.
Bonuses
No points-based ATAR adjustment scheme published. Concessional/quota arrangements instead: Rural Entry Admissions Scheme threshold ATAR 91.5 vs 95.5 non-rural; First Nations applicants have a separate admission process (NSW HSC or tertiary equivalent, confirmation-of-identity documentation, and a panel interview held late November–early December, offers based holistically on motivation, academic records and community involvement); a minimum of six interview positions guaranteed for current Charles Sturt students who meet a GPA target after 1–2 years of any CSU course and sit UCAT ANZ (must meet all Rural Entry Admissions Scheme conditions); Central West Medical Association scholarship for First Nations and financially disadvantaged rural/remote first-year students.
Interview
Multi-Station Mini Interview (MMI), held virtually via Zoom in November, run from Orange; a series of stations each with a separate interviewer, 8 minutes per station. First Nations pathway uses a panel interview instead.
Changes
Two official changes: (1) the WSU/CSU Joint Program in Medicine has been discontinued — from 2027 entry CSU delivers its own "newly accredited, independent program" from Orange with its own UAC code 214478 and its own School of Rural Medicine, first cohort commencing 1 March 2027 (transfers between the CSU and WSU programs are not permitted); (2) the Australian Government allocated CSU an additional 10 CSPs per year, taking the course to 47 CSPs (announced 25 November 2025), within the national expansion of 50 additional CSP medicine places per year for three years (150/year from 2028); CSU has said it will seek further allocations.

CRITICAL STRUCTURAL CHANGE: the Western Sydney University / Charles Sturt University Joint Program in Medicine (JPM) no longer exists for 2027 entry. It has split into two fully separate, separately accredited undergraduate-entry programs: WSU's BClinSci(Med)/MD at Campbelltown (UAC 725505, the continuing code) and CSU's new independent BClinSci(Med)/MD at Orange (new UAC 214478, School of Rural Medicine, first cohort 1 March 2027).

FAQ
How many medical schools are there in Australia?
This comparison covers 22 institutions offering 53 distinct routes into medicine for 2027 entry — counting undergraduate direct entry, provisional/assured pathways and graduate entry separately, plus joint programs (Newcastle/UNE, WSU/CSU, CQU–UQ). New programs are also coming — see the announced-programs section above.
Do all medical schools use the same selection process?
No — and this is the biggest thing applicants underestimate. Entry tests differ (UCAT for most school-leaver entry, GAMSAT for most graduate entry, and some schools use neither), interview formats differ (MMI vs panel vs psychometric testing), and published weightings range from interview-heavy to formula-driven. Each school's card above quotes its published weighting verbatim.
Why do some schools show "not published" for seats or weightings?
Because they genuinely don't publish them, and we don't guess. Where a school publishes its intake or weighting we quote it with the source; where it doesn't, "not published" is itself useful information — it tells you nobody outside the faculty actually knows, whatever forums claim.
Is it easier to get in as an undergraduate or a graduate?
Neither is universally easier — they select on different things. School-leaver entry runs on ATAR + UCAT + interview; graduate entry runs on GPA + GAMSAT + interview. The honest answer is that the better route depends on where your strengths lie — see our undergraduate vs postgraduate guide for the full comparison.

All facts describe the 2027-entry cycle (2026 applications) and were verified against primary sources in July 2026. Admissions rules change every cycle — each program card carries its as-of label and links the primary source so you can re-check before applying.
Sources & methodology
Every card links its primary sources (university pages, the GEMSAS guide, UAC/VTAC/QTAC/SATAC/TISC, government announcements); every fact was independently re-verified, and "not published" items are never stated as fact. General information, not admissions advice — confirm with the university before applying.
