Re: working in australia
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 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

Re: working in australia
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.
