So if someone does a BSc at Monash and wants to apply to UoM MD, they'll just take the unit scores and calculate a 7.0 scale GPA?

If they want to apply to any graduate program, not just the MD then yes.

What is the minimum GPA you need to be considered at Melbourne University? My Sem1 results have got me averaging 6.125 so far, so I'd imagine I need to bump it up a fair amount.

That was my average after first semester of first year and I ended up with a GPA of ~6.8. That 6.125 isn't that big a deal in the scheme of things.

But yes, you'd want to bump it up. Aim for mid 6.xx to be competitive, which isn't that much higher than what you have now

As it alludes to in the first post, you still need to form 3 groups of 8 but you get to decide which of the subjects from the overloaded semester goes in that semester or the next one. Make sense or do you want an example?

Thanks :)

So they ask me which subject i want to group together?? Or do they automatically group the lowest 8 GPA subjects out of the 9 as my first year group?
:D :) ;D :D :) ;D :D :) ;D :D :) ;D :D :) ;D :D :) ;D

Whilst the training pathway is longer than most (all?) other professions, your son is still being paid for his work after graduating from university. Ultimately, once he finishes his specialist training it won't suddenly mean that he never works in a hospital again and will be doing private practice immediately - working in the public system is a large part of many doctors lives.

He might change his mind when he's in his undergraduate degree too. I sure did. After seeing what uni was like and discovering the inspiring world of research, I'm set on that now.

Depends on what results are reported to the university to put on your transcript. You might want to get a clear answer from GEMSAS, since some people were told they'd just be pass/fail assessed and then grades were sent and used for their application.
