Bonded Medical Program

The Bonded Medical Program provides a Commonwealth Supported Place in a medical course at an Australian university. In return, bonded participants commit to work in an eligible regional, rural and remote area for 3 years after they complete their course. This is called a ‘return of service obligation’.

You can complete your Return of Service Obligation (RoSO):

  • Anywhere in the Northern Territory
  • Any time over an 18-year period – it doesn’t have to be continuous
  • Part time, full time or on a per-day basis
  • As a fly-in/fly-out doctor in eligible locations
  • Half before your fellowship, and half after you attain fellowship.
