Best to check state relevant health webpages. Here's an example of NSW and QLD:
https://www.heti.nsw.gov.au/__data/...Priority-List-for-2020-Intern-Recruitment.pdf
Applicant groups for intern positions
Learn about the applicant groups for intern positions, including eligibility criteria.www.health.qld.gov.au
Note that these are subject to change each year.
Each state/territory has their own priority list when it comes to selecting internships. As an example, category 1 might be domestic graduates from that state and category 2 might be domestic graduates from other states etc. In Queensland, currently domestic graduates from Queensland universities are in category 1, which means that domestic Bond graduates have the same chance of achieving an internship position at a certain hospital as those from any other uni, regardless of CSP/BMP/FFP etc.
HOWEVER the COAG agreement states that all CSP medical graduates are guaranteed an internship position somewhere in Australia after graduating. This guarantee is not extended to FFPs. Therefore, if in future the number of internship applicants exceeded the number of positions available, the international students, followed by the domestic FFP graduates, would be the ones to miss out on internship. This hasn't happened yet but with increasing numbers of graduates, it could be something to occur in future, which is something all people applying for FFP medical school positions should be aware of.
Thank you for your answers <3
