yes........

it's a graduate entry programme, so you will need a full degree first, then enter at ground floor........

let's see if anyone bother with this option.........

Melbourne Uni's new graduate medical program has prerequisites at undergraduate level.
anyone enters the program needs to have completed anatomy, physiology and biochemistry subjects during undergraduate.
so, it's not actually enter at ground floor, because it assumes some knowledge and made the course more intensive.

Sadly too, examples of these cases are plenty. One of my friends just finished her MBBS in Sydney but didn't get an internship in an Australian hospital as they were all reserved for the locals. She had to apply to do her internship in America instead. Another friend of mine whose about 1 month through the Melbourne MD but he was refused to attend the any metropolitan hospital-based clinical attachments (which the locals are entitled to). But he was only given the rural attachments. International students are quite disadvantaged in Australia although these concerns have been raised by many committees but there's nothing that can be done.

Yes. Hospitals don't usually look for candidates unless if you have a very close relationship with the people in the hospital.

This is definitely not true. According to Australian government rules, international students and New Zealand citizens (which are considered as local students) are NOT allowed to be placed in rural clinical schools. In other words, international students will definitely be placed in metropolication clinical schools. On other hand, some local students have to take up BMP (Bonded Medical Places) of which they will be placed in rural clinical schools and be bonded to service in rural areas after graduation.

It is however true that international students are not guaranteed internship positions after graduation. It has been critised that the government allows the creation of more medical places and also the opening of more medical schools but the number of internship places remains unchanged. This will make more and more international students losing up to secure internship places as local students are given priority (in fact they are guaranteed a place).
