You may be eligible for GAM if you fit at least one of these equity categories.

• Applicants from a rural or isolated area
• Recognition as an Indigenous Australian
• Previous status as a refugee or current holder of a Humanitarian Visa
• Disadvantaged socio-economic circumstances
• Disability or medical condition
• Personal difficulties
