This potentially cost-neutral proposal is for the creation of additional John Flynn Scholarship Scheme (JFSS) rural work experience placements, to be allocated to Bonded Medical Place students.
It involves the redistribution of some funds earmarked for expense-paid conference trips for BMP students towards an established scholarship program that is more beneficial to students, the government, rural communities and Australian taxpayers. BMP students are in a unique position to profit from a JFSS experience due to their contractual obligations to work in areas of workforce shortage.
