Approximately 234 domestic students are accepted into the direct entry medicine program at Clayton campus each year. Of these, 30 places are held for the Extended Rural Cohort (ERC). In addition, the Federal Government has advised all Medical schools across Australia that approximately 28.5% of all domestic places must be set aside as Bonded Medical Places (BMP).

Inclusive medical education

Monash University has a mission to graduate medical students who have the ability and motivation to become the highly capable, safe to practice, patient-focused, and socially-accountable doctors that our communities need.

With the support of Medical Deans Australia and New Zealand (Medical Deans) we are committed to foster a culture of inclusivity and the provision of equivalent opportunities to access our medical programs for people who have the capabilities to become good doctors, but who have been historically disadvantaged or under-represented as highlighted in the Medical Deans Selection Policy Statement, there are clear benefits to the community of broad representation in the medical workforce of diverse population groups, including of those with a disability.
