NewMed is advancing through regulatory processes (TEQSA, AMC) and plans for its first cohort to commence in 2026.
Students will be distributed across the country, learning through a new high-quality MD Program.
The delivery model uses advanced technologies to engage students in facilitated online small group learning, complemented by face-to-face weeks, and professionally supervised placements.
Aspiring doctors can study medicine in their home community across the first three years. Supervised clinical time in General Practice is needed for 4 hours per week in the first year, increasing to 8 hours/week (year 2) and 24 hours/week (year 3).
Year 4 will require clinical placements in towns with suitable hospitals.
Supporting your investment in the next generation, NewMed offers a stipend (similar and in addition to any PIP payments), active support and training from NewMed GP academics, and the opportunity of a local student remaining with a local practice over three years, developing their skills and contributing to care under supervision.

To establish an outstanding new Medical School in Australia.
Our graduates will be well versed in all elements of medical practice including primary care medicine.
They will be distinguished in their practice as safe, trusted, and self-aware with excellent teamwork and communication skills.
They will practise sustainably, building on their knowledge of the individual, community, societal, environmental and financial complexities of the health care system.
As medical graduates, they will be informed by clinical research and evidence-based medicine.
Australia needs more doctors! Currently, 52% of our General Practitioners received their initial training overseas (RACGP 2022 report). The NewMed program aims to graduate doctors that will serve the needs of each student’s local community, including those in outer-urban, regional, and remote areas.
