I would say yes. My understanding is that O levels are equivelant to our grade 10. There is no way in heck you will get into University with that. I believe A levels are our year 12.

You won't get into any Australian university for any degree with only O levels - A levels is the minimum requirement as that is the equivalent of the Australian year 12. For an undergraduate MBBS, you will need very high A levels (AAA) and good results in UMAT as entry is highly competitive, even for full fee paying international students. It will be even more competitive for a Commonwealth supported student which is what you will be as a PR - only the top 1% of Commonwealth supported students have a chance of getting into undergraduate Medicine. At many Australian universities however, Medicine is a graduate degree so you first will need a 3 year undergraduate degree with a high GPA and then good results in GAMSAT.
