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.

“Your scheme must be the framework of the universe; all other schemes will soon be ruins.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
“There may perhaps be a new generation of doctors horrified by lacerations, infections, women who have douched with kitchen cleanser. What an irony it would be if fanatics continued to kill and yet it was the apathy and silence of the medical profession that most wounded the ability to provide what is, after all, a medical procedure.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“The fetish of the great university, of expensive colleges for young women, is too often simply a fetish. It is not based on a genuine desire for learning. Education today need not be sought at any great distance. It is largely compounded of two things, of a certain snobbishness on the part of parents, and of escape from home on the part of youth. And to those who must earn quickly it is often sheer waste of time. Very few colleges prepare their students for any special work.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
