Just replying to a pm here:
As for USyd, I have never been aware of their entirety of programs, neither have I bothered.
This process is not exactly giving you a minor however. I do undertake a minor, but in total this minor that I do is only about 4-6 courses worth (which is just 1-1.5 semesters worth of work).
Minor's are more so like a short introduction and will only cover a taste of which you get from first year (if the minor is in something completely different) or maybe second year and in one exception I can think of, third and fourth year type work (which is if you do a minor in something related with overlapping content). Minors are only offered under special program circumstances. The only program I know of that allows for minoring is BE ME (Electrical).
However, the BE (other)/ ME Biomedical Engineering is a program where you obtain an accreditation in both. Not sure exactly how it works, however I think the extra year is to cover a second thesis on Biomedical Engineering (your masters thesis) which is related to your other engineering stream in the combined program.
Well for starters, no uni offers you to do a masters in engineering and a bachelor in commerce combined.
To note, you can do B Engineering/B Commerce. However, do note that your B Engineering will dominate and you will only do roughly 2 years of Commerce courses, as you are only offered one Commerce major to do.
In terms of skills and knowledge, it is possible depending on where you go. However, I am not too familiar with Commerce so all I can say is that it would help, but I'm not too sure to what extent (and vice versa).
Well I know nothing about Medical Science (albeit I don't know all that much about Science programs), so I can't really respond to that point.
Below is the Mechatronics and Biomedical program at UNSW. I had this told to me before, and I will tell you now, that the UNSW handbook is "your best friend" when wanting to know about official programs while you are in high school. When you get to uni, each faculty, or even school, will have their own program setting to suit your needs.

Well you are in luck as UNSW does offer a Masters in Biomedical Engineering and Bachelor of Engineering (other) which endures 5 years as a combined program at UNSW.username said:
