Bridging study

To undertake bridging study for overseas-trained professionals you must hold an assessment statement issued by the assessing body for the relevant professional occupation.

An assessment statement is a written statement issued by an assessing body for a listed professional occupation. It indicates the studies, examinations and/or tuition and training programs that you need to undertake successfully to meet the requirements for entry to your profession in Australia.

You are undertaking bridging study for overseas-trained professionals if the study you are undertaking:

  • relates to your assessment statement
  • is on a non-award basis, that is, it is not being undertaken as part of a course of study
  • does not constitute in total more than the equivalent of one year of full-time study

To find out more about Bridging study for overseas-trained professionals you should read the FEE-HELP information booklet available from Campus Central or access the Australian Government's Study Assist website.
