Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This Ministerial order requires major Australian universities (Table A providers) to allocate at least 90% of medical degree places as Commonwealth supported places, or a higher percentage if a specified formula yields a larger minimum. It repeals prior declarations on the same issue.

The rule limits full-fee medical spots to 10% (or less) of domestic enrolment, preserving affordability and HECS-HELP access for most medical students.
