I don't usually refer to other forums but medstudents online would probably be a better place to ask this question since they regularly keep track of what previous students scored in order to get into specific unis and many of those scores where from rural applicants.
BTW I don't think UNSW recognises RA-2 in their rural scheme :/

@above- unsw seem to be using the MMM 1-7 rural and regional classification scheme which is slowly replacing the RA1-5. The two are slightly different eg my background is simultaneously an ra2 and mmm-5 area. The two are not the same so OP would need to check what his area would fall under. However it's more likely than not that it'd be recognised as regional.
