Refugee Applicants

Sydney Medical School has developed a policy for the admission of students who have refugee status to the Medical Program:

• A sub-quota of up to four Commonwealth supported places in the Medical Program will be available annually for refugee applicants whose applications will be assessed on a case by case basis.
• Applicants must have been granted refugee status and Australian residency by the Australian Government.

All applications for the Medical Program are handled by the Australian Council for Educational Research (see ACER contact details) and must be submitted to ACER.

Applicants MUST submit original supporting document(s) confirming refugee status at the time of application. Otherwise applications will be processed as standard applications.

Eligible applicants are considered on a case by case basis.

Refugee applicants who have become Australian citizens are not eligible under this category.
