M
edical Rural Bonded Scholarship (MRBS) Scheme
The MRBS Scheme is an Australian Government initiative designed to address doctor
shortages outside metropolitan areas across Australia. 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.
In return, following attainment of Fellowship of a specialist college, including General
Practice, doctors will work for six continuous years (less any credit obtained through
Scaling) in rural or remote areas of Australia. 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. The opportunity to receive an MRBS Scheme place is available to all
CSP students accepted into a medical school. Several universities require an expression
of interest to receive an MRBS Scheme place to be lodged online.
Students should seek further information on the application processes by contacting the
medical school they plan to study at directly.
