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.

“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“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)
“Homoeopathy is insignificant as an art of healing, but of great value as criticism on the hygeia or medical practice of the time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“We must continually remind students in the classroom that expression of different opinions and dissenting ideas affirms the intellectual process. We should forcefully explain that our role is not to teach them to think as we do but rather to teach them, by example, the importance of taking a stance that is rooted in rigorous engagement with the full range of ideas about a topic.”
—bell hooks (b. 1955)
