NewMed is establishing a new 4-year graduate medical school, with an emphasis on primary care and appealing to prospective students living in outer urban, regional and rural Australia.

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.

General Practice students in years 1, 2 and 3
Hospital placement in year 4

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.
