Hi,
before you can apply for any jobs, you will need to get registered with the Physiotherapy Board of Australia.
Physiotherapy Board of Australia - Overseas Practitioner Registration
And before you can do so, you need to have your qualification assessed by the Australian Physiotherapy Council.
Overview of Assessment for Registration Purposes ? Australian Physiotherapy Council
None of the Indian university programmes is listed on the "equivalent" list, so you will need to undergo full assessment procedures.
Good luck,
Fyzzio
hi fyzzio,
thank you for the information. one mor question. would it be better to apply for the registration from india or from australia?
thank you,

Hi rabab,
I don't think it matters for purposes of registration.
But I would start sooner than later as the process could take some time.
If they ask for exams, you will need to sit them in Australia.
Good luck, Fyzzio

APC Clinical Exam Preparation for Physiotherapists
Hi Fyzzio,
I am a Canadian physiotherapist interested in going to Australia on a Work-Holiday Visa for 12 months. I would like to apply for limited registration only, and was wondering do I also have to have my qualifications assessed by the Australian Physiotherapy Council first before applying for limited registration?
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
