Scheme and Contract Operation, Termination of Medical Students
There is a contract between the government and medical students. How a person enters the contract, as a student or applicant to Medicine and if it is voluntarily is very unclear.
Contract breach is the mechanism of formal contract between a person and the Commonwealth that triggers loss of a provider number and repayments. However the scheme consists of arrangements between the Government and Universities on how to get the contracts signed and terminate students who do not breach the contracts. The current (2011) Contract gives a one year period within which the contract will not be breached if finalised.
However the Contract and supporting material claims a students place is some how 'linked' or 'funded' under the contract/scheme while at the same time each student is required to be eligible of HECS/CSP. There has been no change to HECS/CSP legislation to reflect this 'link' assertion. Rather HECS/CSP legislation requires all students to be treated equally. The Department of Health and Ageing rather asks Universites to terminate Students, and pays amounts of money to Universities on the basis they follow this request.

Famous quotes containing the words scheme, contract, termination, medical and/or students:
“Your scheme must be the framework of the universe; all other schemes will soon be ruins.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Smoking ... is downright dangerous. Most people who smoke will eventually contract a fatal disease and die. But they don’t brag about it, do they? Most people who ski, play professional football or drive race cars, will not die—at least not in the act—and yet they are the ones with the glamorous images, the expensive equipment and the mythic proportions. Why this should be I cannot say, unless it is simply that the average American does not know a daredevil when he sees one.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
“We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Often, we expect too much [from a nanny]. We want someone like ourselves—bright, witty, responsible, loving, imaginative, patient, well-mannered, and cheerful. Also, we want her to be smart, but not so smart that she’s going to get bored in two months and leave us to go to medical school.”
—Louise Lague (20th century)
“Women, because of their colonial relationship to men, have to fight for their own independence. This fight for our own independence will lead to the growth and development of the revolutionary movement in this country. Only the independent woman can be truly effective in the larger revolutionary struggle.”
—Women’s Liberation Workshop, Students for a Democratic Society, Radical political/social activist organization. “Liberation of Women,” in New Left Notes (July 10, 1967)
