Curtin Medical Interviews: 

Ranking for interview: Applicants are ranked and selected for interview based on the weighted sum of their academic merit score (ATAR or equivalent) their Casper Test score, and their UCAT ANZ score (out of 3600) in the ratio of 35:35:30. Please note this course is very competitive, with limited places available. Meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee you an offer of an interview or a place in the course.

Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted for an offer of interview. Due to the volume of applications received we are unable to provide individual application feedback. However we will endeavour to advise applicants of the outcome of their application at various stages of the selection process.

The interview process provides an opportunity for shortlisted applicants to demonstrate how they communicate, critically appraise information and think about issues important to the medical profession. The top ranked eligible applicants from each entry pathway will be invited to attend a Multiple Mini Interview (MMI). Applicants offered an interview will be allocated a designated date and time. Interviews will only be available on dates published by CMS (Medicine). It is not possible to rearrange an interview to another date not previously published. All applicants should ensure they keep these dates free.

Interviews are primarily face to face but with limited online interviews available where required. Note that the process followed is the same, irrespective of whether the interview is face to face or online. Attendance at an interview is mandatory in order to remain eligible for an offer of a place. Failure to appear for interview or failure to notify lack of attendance at interview in advance will mean a candidate forfeits their opportunity for interview. Attendance at an interview does not guarantee an offer of a place. Applicants are advised to monitor the email address including junk/spam folders and phone numbers supplied to TISC as these are the details that will be used for all correspondence. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure these details are current at all times throughout the selection process.

Ranking for an offer of a place in Curtin University Medicine program:

Applicants will be ranked for offers based on their academic merit score (actual ATAR or equivalent), their UCAT ANZ score, and their interview performance, weighted in the ratio of 40:20:40. Offers will be made directly through TISC. CMS (Medicine) may issue direct offers to applicants after the TISC rounds until all places are filled.
