GENERAL.

1. Admission to the Military College of Australia will be granted only to the successful candidates at an open competitive examination who are officially certified as physically fit.

2. Vacancies at the College will be allotted to the States of the Commonwealth on the basis of population, and the candidates from each State will compete among themselves. In the event of the number of qualified candidates from a State being less than the number of vacancies allotted to the State, such vacancies will be offered to candidates, in their order of merit, who have qualified at the same examination but have not obtained a Cadetship.

3. Forms of application to attend the competitive examination for admission to the Military College (C.M. Form K1) can be obtained from the Commandant of any Military District in the Commonwealth. The covering letter and Part 1 of the Form must be filled up in the candidate’s own handwriting.

4. Candidates will address their applications to attend the examination to the Commandant of the Military District in which their parents or guardians are domiciled. Commandants before forwarding applications to Head-Quarters must satisfy themselves that the candidates are eligible.

5. Candidates should pass the medical examination, and be certified as fit, by the Medical Boards appointed for that purpose, before attending the written examination. Regulations for the guidance of Medical Boards are contained in Part III. of these Regulations.
