A university spokesman said the terms of reference for a forthcoming inquiry were expected to be confirmed before Christmas, and the inquiry would begin early next year.
More than 50 medical students were punished by the school after it was discovered last year they had flouted their elective placement attendance requirements — using a three-month overseas hospital placement to instead go on holiday.
Students speaking anonymously at the time claimed the practice was long-standing and widespread.
A university investigation in November last year found trainee interns across three campuses submitted false work experience records.
The university’s vice-chancellor, Harlene Hayne, announced at the time a broad and detailed inquiry would investigate how this level of misconduct occurred and how it could be prevented in future.
The university also expected to look into previous years to investigate whether it had also happened in the past, Prof Hayne said.
Planning for the inquiry was put on hold because of the effects of Covid-19, including the lockdown.
