Loss of Medicare Rebate For 12 Years
Most importantly if the contract is breached the student is prohibited access to Medicare provider numbers for up to 12 years after completing specialty training (the time does not being running from the time of graduating from medical school, but completion of specialty training). This limits the ability of student, now a doctor to practice if they refuse to honour their contract.
Some have criticised the scholarships, stating that they limit the ability of medical students to specialise in their chosen field.

Famous quotes containing the words loss of, loss and/or years:
“...to many a mother’s heart has come the disappointment of a loss of power, a limitation of influence when early manhood takes the boy from the home, or when even before that time, in school, or where he touches the great world and begins to be bewildered with its controversies, trade and economics and politics make their imprint even while his lips are dewy with his mother’s kiss.”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“Somebody who should have been born
is gone.
Yes, woman, such logic will lead
to loss without death. Or say what you meant,
you coward . . . this baby that I bleed.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Jim Wilson: Cops have no friends. Nobody likes a cop. On either side of the law. Nobody.
Captain Brawley: Is that what you want? People to like you? Then you’re in the wrong business and you ought to get out.
Jim Wilson: It’s the only job I know. Has been for eleven years now.
Captain Brawley: Then make up your mind to be a cop. Not a gangster with a badge.”
—A.I. (Albert Isaac)
