Welcome to the comprehensive guide on Australian medical school admissions. This guide is designed for a wide audience, from high school students considering undergraduate entry, to university graduates aiming for postgraduate programs, as well as international students exploring options in Australia. Our purpose is to demystify the application process and provide clarity on the many pathways into medicine. We will cover everything from academic requirements and admissions tests to interviews and special entry schemes, breaking down each component into understandable terms.
The ultimate goal is to help you navigate what can be an overwhelming process with confidence. Medicine is one of the most competitive and rewarding fields of study, and the steps to get there are rigorous. By reading this guide, you’ll gain a clear overview of what is expected of applicants, key timelines, and how to prepare effectively. We will also highlight resources and tips to strengthen your application.
Disclaimer: Admissions requirements and policies can change frequently, sometimes with short notice. While this guide is up-to-date as of the 2025 admissions cycle, always double-check details with official sources like university websites or admissions centres. Universities and regulatory bodies (like the Australian Medical Council) periodically update prerequisites, test formats, or timelines. Treat this guide as a roadmap, but consult official announcements and university admissions pages for the final word. If discrepancies arise, the information from official sources should take precedence. In other words, use this guide as a helpful reference, but verify critical details with the universities or testing agencies directly1. Our aim is to put you on the right track – the rest is in your hands!
