universities should be public and free, not profit making enterprises

My brother is a doctor (gp) and it’s not as simple as Australia not having enough doctors. The reality is that we have more than enough in nice/suburban areas where doctors want to live, but nowhere near enough in rural areas. The shortage is postcode based and not generally applicable to all parts of Aus

i can tell you’re not a doctor, the issue is that governments don’t fund unis, or they don’t adjust for cost increases. the cost of training a student is way, way higher than what the government provides, even moreso for med students

I’m a consultant doctor. The limitation is TRAINING. Training a junior doctor up is seriously long hard work, done by highly skilled, highly trained people on top of their main job of treating patients. There’s only a limited number of people to train the juniors, money and time provided to do that training and patients / cases that are suitable.

I think this is a conversation of ill informed and superficial knowledge people. Either the comments are about money and earning of doctors or how bad is doctors. It’s never about where they are from , it’s more about having a lot more exposure in hospitals are needed for all doctors. Having local graduates doesn’t make you safe because they studied here. There are horrible ones also. So educate yourself more before judging. You need to think about hospital capacities, colleges and space for training etc. medicine is hard and not a joke and as doctors regardless locals or international we take it serious.

AMC exams are extremely hard to pass, oversea doctors aren't going in easily . The same quality and education as domestic ones

I graduated the Bachelor of Medical Science with Distinction, top of my cohort, perfect GPA. I didn't go on to medicine because I couldn't afford the childcare, mortgage, living expenses, parking, commute, and often rural placements and acocommodation and loss of wages from my normal job with any more unpaid work placements. I did enough placement in my undergrad that hit us hard financially.

I work as a nurse in critical care, every doctor I have worked with has been amazing, they are so well trained and dedicated, we should be so grateful as a country for the amazing doctors ww have in our hospitals. I think we need to pay our Gp’s more and we would attract a better standard but generally I have not had a problem with finding a good GP but you often have to pay out of pocket.

you don't need a good ATAR, only if you plan on doing medicine when you're 18. changing the atar is irrelevant. regardless of that... you still have to pass the gamsat which filters most people anyway - and if you cannot pass that you shouldn't be a doctor. as other people have said the real bottleneck is limited training availability - training hospitals have limited positions.

That was a very intelligent analysis of the problem. It takes a lot to impress me, and you did just that. What can we do about it?

Ask the Medical College … ditto Dentists … they hold back placements to ensure they earn high incomes.
