Another Access Melbourne question

Freaking out a bit, don't know why though, I called Melbourne Uni twice asking if I qualified for the selection guarantee, but they're being tight-lipped.
I've applied under disadvantaged financial background (I receive Youth Allowance) and my ATAR is a 95.9, and I've passed the subject prerequisites by at least 10 points. What I'm asking, essentially, is can you ease my worries, heard of anyone with a similar scenario and have qualified for the guaranteed place?

Also, I'm trying to get into Biomed which has a cut-off of 92 for Access applicants.

YOU'RE FINE!!! I had many friends that scrapped a 90-91 and got into Biomed, that was when last years cut off for Melbourne access was 88.

I called UoM and the lady asked for my name and checked some sort of 'registry,' found my name and said I was guaranteed as long as I was an Aus citizen and had the pre-req's. I'm still paranoid though bc the Dean at the Open Day said that there were limited places and so the Access thing was actually not guaranteed. I don't know...I got 94.85 for my ATAR and have passed the prereqs. I hate how they're being so vague.

There is a 30% "quota" but you'll get in, relax.

Thanks for the comments, I called UoM for a third time, because I'm neurotic like that and they finally confirmed my qualifying for Access Melbourne. So, yay, BBiomed here  I come.
