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.
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.
Students will be able to study in their local community during the first two or three years of the program. In addition to the technology infused, and academic led blended learning in small groups, there will be three back-to-base, face to face weeks per year, and clinical placements in primary care. In the final year of the program students will need to complete hospital-based clinical rotations.
The NewMed fee schedule will be available after accreditation.
