Yes I think at the very least, if you are going to have access to the same funds as a medicine, veterinary or dental student (who have a pretty good chance of a long term rewarding career path) the funds we taxpayers give you should only be available to those with a very high ATAR score.
Instead I believe all you need to get on these courses and access to the same amount of money is a pulse, no ATAR required..
