Each year medical students enrolled in accredited medical courses at one of 20 participating universities can apply for a place in the program. From 2009, 300 new placements will be available each year. There is one application intake each year, which is generally between February and April. Once accepted on the JFPP, students are placed with a rural doctor and a local contact person for a minimum of two full weeks per year, normally over a four year period. Students are placed in the same community each year and are expected to complete the entire eight weeks of placements by the last holiday period following completion of their medical course. Students work closely with a rural doctor in a wide variety of health settings and experience one on one mentoring. This type and level of mentoring for students is unique and will supplement the experience of a University clinical rotation in a hospital or general practice. The JFPP covers the cost of travel and accommodation for students to go on placement and ACRRM provides assistance with these arrangements. In addition to this students are paid $500 per week to cover food and living expenses during the placement. http://www.acrrm.org.au/main.asp?NodeID=29510  Rural Australia Medical Undergraduate Scholarship RAMUS assists selected students from rural and remote areas to study medicine at university. Scholarship holders receive $10,000 a year during the completion of a standard medical degree at their chosen university. The scholarships are not bonded. Instead, scholarship holders’ ties to regional and rural Australia are reinforced through a rural mentorship program, as well as through membership of their university’s student rural health club.

We are currently in negotiations with several universities so that students can enter into a Bachelor of Accounting/Finance upon completion of their diploma at Bedford College with credit into the degree. www.bedford.edu.au  Electrotechnology School Student Awards These awards are open to students currently enrolled in years 9, 10, 11 and 12 at a secondary school in Australia.
