you need to undertake 5 years at Monash under the MBBS course, before undertaking 1 year internship. now after this you have two options:
#1: undertake 2-3 years of residency (mind you, you're still getting paid for this work, same with internship, you get paid throughout it), where you work in the hospital. after these years, you apply for specialising colleges (in your case, for the gp one) every year until you get a place. once you get a place, you need to undertake 3 years training (again, this isnt just unpaid work/study, you do get paid for it!)
#2: once you're out of internship, instead of doing 2-3 years residency, few people may be offered a place in the specialising colleges, so obviously this would save a lot of time. i hear the specialising colleges (including the one to prepare you to be a gp) do reserve some places for people straight out of internship.
while they say studying medicine is a lot of years of study, it's also work while you study, so you get paid etc., you just have to be always learning
