Well if you get qualified to work in Australia through Australian Registration, via studying there, the the world is pretty open to you. As for the USA, well if you study there you pretty much are stuck there. i.e. No Aussie, UK, NZ or South African registration. Not even sure if Canada accepts the US undergrad degree?

The main problem is not what they teach, it is the scope of the actual study - it is far to narrow to satisfy the actual job of a physiotherapist in many other countries.

No one from overseas is exempt from exam for australia.

actually if you are registered in new zealand and want to work in australia you don't need to do the ACORPA exam- Aus and NZ have an agreement that thier registered physio's can work in either Aus or NZ
