ATAR and selection thresholds
Provisional-entry pathway: complete the UniSC Bachelor of Medical Science, GPA >= 5.5 -> Griffith University Doctor of Medicine (rural medical program, Sunshine Coast University Hospital clinical school). Minimum ATAR 99.90 (99.30 under rural/regional schemes). UCAT ANZ is optional — a second-order tiebreak within an ATAR band; applicants without UCAT are ranked at the bottom of their band.
Structured pass/competitive thresholds are being verified for this programme.
What applicants have reported
STUDENT-REPORTED (Med Students Online; anecdotal, sparse, NOT official). ATAR-driven provisional pathway: offer-holders reported ATAR ~99.6-99.95 (official T1-2026 minimum ATAR 99.90); ~20 places. UCAT is only a within-band tiebreaker, so forum UCAT figures are low-value and pre-2026 ones are on the old 1200-3600 scale — not used here.
Rural and Indigenous pathways
Rural Access Scheme and Regional Health Workforce Scheme (lower threshold 99.30 vs 99.90 standard).
University of the Sunshine Coast offers an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (or, in NZ, Māori and Pacific) entry pathway. Confirm eligibility and the application process at the source.
