What you need to do first (if you haven't already) is either write the MCAT or GAMSAT. After that, you can apply for most Australian med schools through ACER.

More info on what these acronyms are can be found here:

Good luck!

A great place to find out about med entry, and anything else concerning med school in Australia, is the Paging Dr forum. Also if you have any specific questions about application to schools in Australia I'm a med student there and available to answer any questions you want to ask.

Hey,
I have been away for a few days and been unable to check this forum. Thanks for the suggestions. I have written the MCAT and am in search of the next step.
Thanks!

ACER has altered its website in the last week or so. If you haven't already visited ACER here are the updated links important to International entry (post-MCAT, pre-interview),
