Information

NewMed is currently creating the program to deliver our postgraduate MD degree, subject to approval by TEQSA and the AMC, now intended for commencement in 2027.

NewMed is not yet a medical school. NewMed is not currently accepting new students.

When will NewMed enrol students?

NewMed will not seek applications from potential students until registration and accreditation by both the Tertiary Qualifications Standards Agency (TEQSA) and the Australian Medical Council (AMC) is complete. 

Will there be Commonwealth supported places in the program?

NewMed will not offer places under the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS).

NewMed will be a private medical program with fees.

There will also be some scholarships available.

Will I be able to study in my home location?

Students will apply to study, noting the locations where NewMed has established MOUs with primary care (General) practices, for the first three years of the program. Students may apply for a local or nearby community, or be prepared to move to one of these locations.

In the final year of the program, students will need to complete hospital-based clinical rotations. For urban locations, this may mean being able to stay at home or in their residential location, but for those in smaller rural communities, it may require relocation for the necessary hospital experience.

How much will the program cost?

The NewMed fee schedule will be available after accreditation.
