98N  Simplified outline
  The following is a simplified outline of this Chapter:

         • This Chapter sets up a scheme for the Commonwealth to make loans to overseas‑trained professional people who do not meet the requirements for entry to their professions in Australia.
         • The loans will be applied to pay fees for bridging courses (BOTP courses) which will enable those people to meet those entry requirements.
         • To be eligible for a loan, an overseas‑trained professional person must:

                (a) meet certain citizenship/residency requirements; and
                (b) obtain an assessment statement from a relevant assessing body; and
                (c) enrol in a course that relates to the assessment statement.

         • An assessment statement is a statement to the effect that, if the person were to successfully undertake further studies, be successful in one or more examinations or successfully undertake a tuition and training program, the person would meet the requirements for entry to that profession in Australia.
