My husband is a General Practioner and I'm a Physio. Which exams do you think would be easier to pass..Canadian or Australian??
Suggestions are welcome from anyone else with advice on this...................
Do not bother with Australia the Exam board is controled by the examiners who are physiotherapy lecturers in the University system. They are biased towards getting newly grad Australian physios places. This is shown by the new numbers of physios in queensalnd last year which was only 250 which included all the newl grads from Queensland Universities. WhichI believe to be over 200 so the rest are a handfull of overseas or returning Physios. They con everyone saying the pass rates for the written are around 70% however they do not publicise clinical exam pass rates. which cost you $2300 to take and that does not inc traveling and accomodation as exams are only done in Sydney, brisbane, Melbourne and Adelaide.
The australian Physiotherapy Council has nothing to do with physiotherapy except they make extortional amounts of money from overseas physios who think they are going to get a fair go. If you need to know more do not hesitate to replybest regards
