Bonded Medical Program goal
The Bonded Medical Program aims to improve equity of access to achieve better health and wellbeing for all Australians, now and for future generations.
What the Bonded Medical Program is
The program provides students a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) in a medical course at an Australian university in return for a commitment to work in regional, rural and remote areas or areas of workforce shortage for a period of 156 weeks (3 years). This commitment is referred to as a Return of Service Obligation (RoSO).
The program is open to all Australian citizens and permanent visa holders that reside in Australia and have been offered a place in a course of study in medicine at an Australian university.
Program participants are bound by and must comply with the following legislation:
Participants of the Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Scheme and the Bonded Medical Places Scheme can apply to opt in to the Bonded Medical Program.
To learn more about the key features of the program, your obligations during and following the transition process, and how to submit an opt in request please read the Bonded Programs comparison fact sheet and the Opted in Participant Information Guide.
What is BRoSS
The Bonded Return of Service System (BRoSS) is the web portal used by program participants to self-manage their RoSO. Participants can plan, record and manage their RoSO and notifiable event reporting obligations.
Program participants are responsible for ensuring their BRoSS record is kept up to date and contains information about the milestones and events achieved that are required to meet program obligations.
