Physiotherapists

You must be registered with the relevant Physiotherapist Registration Board in the State in which you wish to practice. www.physiocouncil.com.au

If you are on a Working Holiday Visa, there is no need to apply to Australian Council of Physiotherapy Regulating Authorities (ACOPRA). You may apply directly to the State/Territory Registration Board for a Limited/Temporary Registration – NSW, VIC, TAS, SA and NT. 

If your are going to a State/Territory without limited registration, you need to go through the examination process of the Australian Examining Committee for Overseas Physiotherapists (AECOP). 

New Zealand: To practice as a physiotherapist in New Zealand, you are required to be registered by the Physiotherapy Board of New Zealand. Physiotherapists who are registered to practice in New Zealand are required to hold a current annual practicing certificate (APC) from the Board in order to practice.

Please submit your enquiry and one of our Consultants will contact you to discuss your options more fully.
