Yeah I know, I just worry I won't do well enough in the GAMSAT to be accepted into any postgraduate medicine studies.
Does anyone know if the GAMSAT requirements for medicine at different universities are the same or different?

Of course they'd be different. As with all things, requirements vary with demand. The criteria on which graduate med is based varies between universities as well, meaning that the weighting of the GAMSAT can vary. For example, UQ doesn't have an interview, while the GPA required is more of a hurdle than anything, so the GAMSAT has a very large weighting. In your situation, I would go into Pharmacy and then do an anatomy course outside if you are aiming for UoM graduate Med, or skip the anatomy course if you don't mind applying interstate.
Russ:
efb but i might as well point out that Deakin and Monash have (relatively) low requirements compared to interstate unis, so they're perfectly plausible options in Victoria
Varies dramatically. UQ has an extremely high GAMSAT cutoff because they don't have an interview process, so it attracts students with extremely high scores (and allegedly those with poor social skills who interview badly).
UoM had low cutoffs this year, it's expected to rise for future years.

Which unis in aus are good for pg med?

Interested in going interstate?

I haven't considered that yet, but are the requirements that much lower?

There are other entry-to-practice options around if you don't get into unimelb MD after biomed/science.
Have you thought of medical radiations?

2 years full time, after your bachelors.
That's one of my backup options.
