Yes, it will be possible. The 2nd year biomed cores (MCB and HSF) cover the necessary biochemistry, anatomy, and physiology prerequisites for post-grad.

However, you should keep in mind that entry into the MD/DDS typically requires the GAMSAT (unless you got at least a 99.90). In order to do the GAMSAT, you need at least Year 12 physics knowledge, which would normally be acquired in Physics for Biomedicine. Therefore, you'd have to go out of your way to prepare for this component. If you did physics in year 12, you can disregard this.
