Important Information

The Department of Health Bonded Participant Website provides detailed information on the Bonded Program and BROSS – the Bonded participant portal for managing your reporting and eligible service details.

Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship (MRBS) Scheme participants that have completed their course of study in medicine at an Australian university are able to opt in to the Program. Bonded Medical Places (BMP) Scheme participants can choose to opt in to the Program at any time. The MRBS Scheme was closed to new entrants in 2016. The BMP Scheme was closed to new entrants in 2020. The MRBS and the BMP Schemes are referred to as “Legacy Schemes”.

Participants of the now closed, Medical Rural Bonded Scholarship Scheme (MRBS) or Bonded Medical Places Scheme (BMP) (referred to as ‘Legacy Schemes’) considering opting into the new three-year Bonded Medical Program can find an overview of the Program in the Legacy Scheme Participant Information Booklet. The MRBS and BMP schemes are closed to new participants.
