UTas is phasing out this pathway from 2018 but in return you can apply to Curtin if you have completed a degree (1st-3rd year is for Curtin students only).

Just in regards to non-Standard entry, do you need to enrol into an undergrad course in the university to which you are applying for med, or will they take anyone? Furthermore, what are the specific ‘qualifications’ required for admission (e.g. is UMAT necessary and what percentile, what approximate marks do you need in uni, is the ATAR considered)? Finally, when in the year and what level of your current bachelor degree would you transfer (e.g. start/mid year in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year)?
If someone could answer with respect to specific universities, that would be greatly appreciated! :)

UNSW Adelaide Curtin have internal-transfer pathways for their own students.
UNSW, WSU, JMP, JCU and Curtin have nonstandard pathways for students of any course at any uni. You can apply during any year except for Curtin you have to be in final year or have graduated.
Regarding GPA ATAR UMAT requirements you can see more info here

Wait why wouldn't you use MedEntry products? Aren't they really good?

The only thing that’s clear is that they’re really good at marketing. There is no substantial amount of evidence to suggest that MedEntry improves your UMAT score enough to justify the exhorbitant price, particularly since the UMAT seems to favour intrinsic ability rather than work ethic.

I came back to tidy up my inbox and stumbled in here for the nostalgia. I guess my optimistic prediction of the media improving their coverage of healthcare didn't eventuate, but there certainly has been interesting reporting recently on the twin issues of doctor burnout and workplace culture.
If anybody has any particular questions about the industry after graduation and training, I'm happy to answer them before I go away again!
