Dean's indigenous list

Australian Indigenous applicants to the medicine course may apply to be considered for the Dean's Indigenous List (DIL).

Please note that applicants of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent who are members of an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community are eligible to apply for waiving of certain costs associated with their study.  More information will be made available to all timely applicants for the course. If you are of Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent, are a member of an Australian Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community, and are applying for a fee-paying place, you will have the opportunity to apply for the DIL via a supplied online link - this link will be provided as part of the Monash MBBS VTAC mailout in mid-October. Applications will close on 7 November 2008.

Based on these applications, some additional interviews will be offered to applicants eligible for the Dean's Indigenous List, which will function in the same way as the Dean's rural list to enable us to identify Australian Indigenous applicants not offered an interview in the original mail out.  Those invited to attend these additional interviews will be notified by 21 November 2008.

Australian Indigenous applicants completing year 12 who apply for entry into the medicine course should also obtain a Centre for Australian Indigenous studies (CAIS) Supplementary form which can be downloaded from the Monash University website or by contacting the Centre:

Telephone: +61 3 9905 4200
Fax: +61 3 9905 5043
Email: cais@arts.monash.edu
Web: www.arts.monash.edu.au/cais

Once complete, the CAIS form should be faxed, mailed or emailed to CAIS by 7 November 2008.

A number of the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences and Monash University scholarships are available to support Australian Indigenous students studying medicine. Details of these scholarships and application procedures will be notified to applicants applying for inclusion on the Dean's Indigenous List.
