14  Scaling—return of service obligation

        (1) For the purposes of paragraph 124ZT(3)(c) of the Act, work by a bonded participant that satisfies this section may be scaled by counting each month of service obligation actually completed as satisfying two months of their return of service obligation.

        (2) Work by a bonded participant satisfies this section if:
           (a) the participant:
              (i) is a fellow; and
              (ii) is in the third year of their return of service obligation; and
              (iii) has completed at least 2 years of their return of service obligation:
                   (A) in a geographic location classified as MMM 4, MMM 5, MMM 6 or MMM 7; and
                   (B) on a full‑time basis; and
           (b) the work is done:
              (i) in a geographical location classified as MMM 4, MMM 5, MMM 6 or MMM 7; and
              (ii) on a full‑time basis.
 (3) This section does not apply to a bonded participant who was a party to a deed of agreement with the Commonwealth for funding of a place in the Bonded Medical Places Scheme, which was entered into during the period beginning on 1 January 2016 and ending on 31 December 2019.
 (4) In applying subparagraph 14(2)(a)(iii), ignore any reduction in the return of service obligation period for prior service in accordance with paragraphs 124ZV(2)(a) and 124ZW(2)(a) of the Act.
