As the result of another study which identified the indirect costs at a large teaching hospital in which Monash University has established a clinical school, it has been possible to estimate the cost per annum for each medical student. This is the sum of direct university costs ($4,617), Tertiary Education Assistance Scheme ($1,200) and indirect costs ($44)–in aggregate therefore $5,900 (rounded). Thus the cost of the six‐year course for each student is approximately $35,500.
