Australia.

Registration Process
[edit | edit source]

To gain registration, there are two possible options. It appears that as Irish graduates, the optimal way to go about registration is to apply for the second option (Assessment of Equivalence), and if you do not fulfil the sufficient criteria, you will directly enter stage 2 of option 1.


Option One: Assessment of Physiotherapists Who Intend to Apply to the Physiotherapy Board of Australia for General Registration

1. Initial Assessment

2. Written Assessment: MCQ

3. Clinical Assessment: Treat 3 real patients from each core area

4. APA Final Certificate is issued once stages 1 to 3 are fulfilled


Option Two: assessment of equivalence of qualification

1. Apply for assessment of equivalence (university submit documents in substantial detail regarding all aspects of the qualification and course structure)

2. Qualification either meets or does not meet criteria. If it meets criteria, issued with APC certificate of Substantial Equivalence and apply for General Registration. If not, approved for Written Assessment (part 2 above).


General Registration (once option one or two completed)
