Education
Within a rapidly changing research and tertiary education landscape, our College is committed to producing exemplary health care practitioners and researchers who can provide innovative solutions that will deliver better, healthier living for our communities.
We are excited by the opportunity to challenge, support and inspire our students through a learning environment that blends academic and professional training.
We support our students to be leaders in their field of endeavour and competitive on the world stage.
“My research work gives me a wide knowledge base upon which to design my teaching resources. This helps me to design meaningful, and hopefully interesting, classes for my students.”
Dr Melissa Tadros is an AdvanceHE Fellow and holds a blended research and education position, primarily teaching anatomy and physiology for undergraduate students.

College Commendation List
The College Commendation List recognises outstanding achievements of students undertaking an undergraduate program. If you are eligible, your placement on the College Commendation List will be noted on your academic record and will appear on your Official Transcript. It will also be recognised on the Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) provided to you on the completion of your degree.
To be eligible for placement on the College Commendation List, students must have completed a minimum of 40 units and achieved a grade point average of 6.0 or a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) of 77, or equivalent for students enrolled in the Joint Medical Program, across all courses in a calendar year.
College Scholars Program
The College Scholars Program recognises high-achieving students in our undergraduate programs and incorporates a series of opportunities designed to support career development and professional leadership capacity.
The program provides scholars with networking and leadership opportunities, as well as personal and professional development.
To be admitted to the program students are required to:
- Have completed at least one year of study in a nominated College of Health, Medicine and Wellbeing degree; and
- Be currently enrolled in a minimum of 20 units; and
- Have demonstrated high academic success in your studies by achieving a GPA for the previous year of 6.5 (or equivalent in the case of the Joint Medical Program); and
- Be listed on the College Commendation list (for the prior year).
Our aim is to prepare our scholars to be global citizens, leaders and change makers by providing opportunities for what the Lancet Commission term “transformative learning”.
