    Physiotherapy Assistant in New Zealand

    I am physiotherapist from Brazil and I am currently going through the New Zealand registration process. While I am waiting for the process I would like to Work in the New Zealand Health System. Could anyone tell me if it is possible for foreign trained physios to work as a physiotherapy assistant in New Zealand?
    If yes, are there any jobs in that field (I have the impression that most employers want some qualification in New Zealand even for Physiotherapy Assistants)?

    Any information will be greatly appreciated

    Hi,
    Physio Assistant's usually don't need any qualification at all.
    There are several job search engines for NZ. Can easily find them on Google.
    Do you have a work visum?

    Cheers,
    Fyzzio

    Hi Marianas,

    I believe that would be better options such as Pilates Instructor or Massage Therapist.

    How is your process? I'm a brazilian physio as well and i will start my process soon.

    I already asked Mariana and will ask the same for you: Please, let me know if you can give me any advise about the process?

My goal is to move to new Zealand too. I've talked with an immigrant advisor but I want to do it with a brazilian physio as well. Could I join your talk, please? I will wait for your answer anxiously.

    Hello Camila,
    I am a physiotherapist and I have 14 years of experience. I'm going to NZ in January to study English for the IELTS and then apply for registration.
    Did you start the process? Could you give me any tips? Because I would like to prepare the material in advance to facilitate the process. Thank you . Regards .

    Re: Physiotherapy Assistant in New Zealand

    Hi, Cristina!
    I tried to talk to Camila as well, but I didn`t have luck. I am about to start a posgraduate physiotherapy course in NZ next year and then I will try the registration. Maybe we can exchange some ideas and information ("trocar figurinhas"), since we have the same goal and it is so difficult to find brave physiotherapists from Brazil that goes through this way. I hope I can hear from you! Please e-mail me! My email is [email protected]

    Re: Physiotherapy Assistant in New Zealand

    Hi,
    Im a Physiotherapist qualified from India working in the UAE. I tried applying for New Zealand physiotherapy registration but my documents and evidence were not sufficient and not on par with the New Zealand standards and so was wondering if i can work as physiotherapy assistant for a year or so and then apply again for registration?

    Will I be allowed to work as a physiotherapy assistant in New Zealand?
    How do I find physiotherapy assistant jobs?
    Will I be eligible to re-apply to the board if i get a 1 year experience as a physiotherapy assistant?

    Please help me with these details.

    Thanks,
    Pearl
