The MRBS Scheme provides one hundred additional Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) each year to first year Australian medical students at participating universities across the country. Students who join the MRBS Scheme are eligible to receive a scholarship payment of over $25,000 which is indexed annually during the course of study.

This is referred to as Return of Service Obligation (RSO). The need for more doctors in rural Australia is widely recognised and many communities have identified having a local doctor as high on their list of health priorities. Addressing these issues requires a partnership approach between government, universities and particularly doctors who are willing to make a real commitment to providing medical services to communities in areas of most need. Accordingly, students joining the MRBS Scheme will enter into a Contract with the Commonwealth in the expectation that they will make a firm undertaking to honour this agreement. The application and selection process for an MRBS Scheme place is determined by the university students choose following the submission of an application 18 Scholarships Resource for 2015 Entry to study medicine.
